Well, I didn't think it belonged in Applog.....and it was a *hidden
folder*.....and OE had absolutely nothing in it but the usual default
folders (Inbox, Sent, etc). I had done a search for *.dbx files and they
were showing up as C:\WINDOWS\APPLOG\Application Data......so that was the
reason for my trying to move it out and over to the Folder named Application
Data.......am I confusing you? (g)

book.

Did that last night with the contents of the above dragged folder. Had a
problem importing the *.wab file......but finally found an old one in your
program and used that. It just plain would NOT import from the usual
Internet Explorer spot. Besides, it was only 173 kb......so no names in it.

I will print off your instructions and muse on it. I would just like to
sort out what belongs where under Application Data, so figured I would wait
a day or two and watch the date changes (or lack thereof).

I don't have duplicates of everything......but I also have the added
confusion of a lot of XP folders on this HD which I am not entirely sure I
can remove. I know.....a reformat is in order, but you know how Martha
would feel at the word *reformat*.....grin.
