Exactly. When I had done this, the CTRL+Shift+Alt+L shortcut was
unknown. :=( I recreated each folder to get back the folders. No
templates were in them.

Apparently you don't need to copy anything over and that TB! will do
this. Just browse to the new location and hit OK. The account will be
moved to the new directory and the old directory deleted. I juts tried
it and this is true. :=)

I've been living in ignorance all this time. :=) It's great that it's
this simple.

Yes, you had told me this.

TF> I am sure you had backups, too. ;-)

At the time no. For some time, I've automated the regular creation of
RAR archives of *everything* TB!.
