That should create a new high level Favorites folder from the contents of the low one. Hopefully the renaming and dragging will be picked up by the registry value that maintains the location of the Favorites directory for the user. If it's all object-oriented it should and dragging does work as I imply in XP. However, I don't use your OS, so who knows what the "security" implications of trying this there might be? ; ) Good luck Robert Aldwinckle --- |
