    I did a Search under the same name as my Subject header with no results. That was the closest description I could think of.

    OK! Here's my situation. I reformatted hddrv for Win2k, but before I did I copied the randomly-named folder in the Profile folder that's fathoms deep under Docs&Settings/Admin./... to another partition for safe-keeping so I could copy the bkmarks, Inbox, AddressBk back to the new profile that Netscape creates when you reinstall it. NS7.1 is logging on fine, but I can't remember exactly how I restored those components. I've done it before without too much of a hitch; but you know how those things go. Kinda like Bugs Bunny when he says "I knew I should've taken that left turn in Albuquoiky ". I tried copying over and to the new folder, and the Import function isn't that flexible. So, what's the most efficient way to restore that old folder to the new, even if I have to uninstall NS7.1 and reinstall again?

    Tanx All,

    Hi George,

    This page lays it out for you: Transfer Netscape from PC to PC. In your case it would be from partition to partition! ;)

    You won't have to reinstall Netscape to make this work. The Profile remains untouched when you install/uninstall Netscape.

    If you have any questions let us know.

    Ramona :D
