Hi Joseph. Thanks to you, Roelof, Joseph & Arjan for your replies to my post.

Now why would that be, I wonder. Do you mean that I can't move the entire MAIL directory over to \my documents? Or do you mean if I do, TB! will not access them, instead making use of the program directory folders?

In fact I do for one program but, by & large, I have found that on the rare occasion I have to start from scratch, its a good time for spring cleaning. In those cases, like just recently, I dump some programs that I once thought were indispensable, change my options & end up running a leaner & meaner machine. For those reasons I generally don't go after .ini & such files tho I understand why many do. JN> BTW, what was the specific problem with JN> your HD? Damned if I know; it just sort of keeled over within a day or two of reporting a couple of errors. In fact, someone on this list suggested that I back everything up &r replace it but I didn't listen though I should have known after all these years. :-( I'm pretty good about HD maintenance so its not like it was ignored or abused. I just think something 'flaked' of that shouldn't have. :-| Now I'm out for bear, armed to the teeth & focused on beating the odds. :-) -- Jan Rifkinson Ridgefield, CT USA TB!
