Hi Terry and everyone who has tried to tell us how to save our favorites. I have WIN XP and there isn't any folder named "favorites" in Windows.
I have searched and have never found any trace of either my favorites, email or email addresses. My machine regularly gets corrupted files and goes haywire. Then I have to re-install windows and as a consequence I always lose my emails, email addresses and also my surfing favorites. If anyone can tell me how to save these three items and reinstall them after a new Windows install I would really be grateful. I have another hard drive to save them on so space isn't a problem as if it would be using a floppy. Mike, I'm sorry to post this but it sort of applies to CS because many of the list emails are important to me and I hate to lose them. So, maybe this on topic in a slewed manner. Thanks to everyone that helps me on this one. You can reply to me off list so we don't bother those folks who have Macs :-) Trem [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry Chamberlin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 05, 2002 10:04 AM Subject: CS>Favorites folder > The "Favorites" Folder (not a file) is in the Windows > directory.
