It still puzzles me, Hugh. I found it much easier to find
any bookmark in
Windows 95 and 98. In those versions, there was a
"Find" feature. Your way I
have to open all the bookmarks in a Firefox browser, click
Ctrl+F, and enter
what I am looking for. Why can't progress mean moving ahead
in whatever
features need improving and certainly not moving backwards
in any other
features?
According to what you suggest, I put a shortcut from that
"bookmarkbackups"
folder into the Start menu to give me easier access (rather
than following
that long path to the folder). Only modification necessary
is that the last
date listed is 2006-11-20 and trying to figure out how it
got there. ---

... modify this address as necessary. I plead guilty to
having many more
bookmarks than I will ever use, but I do find it useful from
time to time to
review my folders for a vaguely remembered page.
