Hi Hal,

Yes, that's one of the things I enjoy about Windows...There are multiple
ways to accomplish the same task and you can choose the one that is the
most comfortable for you...
Although I don't find it cumbersome to cut and paste a folder such as
"Favorites" I did find it cumbersome to manually recreate my "Cookies"
folder one time...
That "index.dat" file gave me some grief...:-)  I would imagine, though,
that I could have imported / exported that folder without nearly as much
fuss as I went through...
Thanks for the tip!
