Re: ^&%$# again - damned computer

Here is a link that might help you import bookmarks from Netscape:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211089
Look in the \Program Files\Netscape folder for the bookmarks. Once you are asked which file to import, you just have to browse to where the file is located, highlight it and click Import.

When I got this computer a couple of years ago I was using IE for the
browser. Things started going bad and it kept telling me that I had
to add something (I don't remember what) and wouldn't let me open my
favorites. Panicked, I changed to Netscape. Now, I know that support
ended some while back, but it still worked so I didn't care and kept
using it. I need a browser only to store my "favorites" and to open
any links that you all post. So, I don't need anything "slick". As
of yesterday, Netscape seems to have given up the ghost. Today, when
trying to get in so that I could go to one of my favorites I got some
opening page with suggestions of other browsers (I guess that's what
they are) - Firefox, Flock (which they've been encouraging me to
change to since they support stopped), AOL Desktop, Thunderbird (which
touts terrific e-mail client which I don't need I guess because I use
Eudora). IE seems to be working just fine now, but I have lots more
favorites in Netscape and don't know how to export/import them back
and I don't know how to make IE the default anyway. Gawd, I hate
change!!!!! I don't need bells and whistles. I want simplicity!!! I
don't need "photos, friends, videos" "Instant Messaging" and so forth.
*$#%@.

Well, I've figured out how to make IE the default browser. Now, if
all of my Netscape bookmarks hadn't disappeared. :o( I was going to
go to Summer's blog because I had a bookmark for it, but.......
Sue - I'm going to go mow the back lawn.
