Installing FF didn't cause the OE problem.....I did. (G) I have used FF
for a long time and that never happened before. I must have accidentally
OK'd something when I was prowling in the OE Identity folder. Birthday????
And I forgot to say that Ms. E sends her very best to you, along with some
sort of boa?? (eg)

Yes (and you should've been paying closer attention when installing FF, my
dear wink).

Don't worry about it. You can "open" DBX files anyway. w

Hi Guys.....

Haven't done much with the "restored" dbx files......some transferred
OK
onto the new format and some didn't.

But in messing around with that OE Identities folder in Windows
Explorer,
I
think (but am not sure) that I changed something and want to know if I
did
and how to change it. I thought I was being careful and cancelling my
way
out of things, but not sure on this.

All of the *.dbx files now show Firefox as the program that will OPEN
them.
Short of going to a couple of the neighbours to see what their folders
show
as an icon thing, can you guys tell me if yours show Firefox??

I connected the Clickfree backup and the older files were also
FF......so
am
just not sure.

If I go into Control Panel/FolderOptions, under File Types, any of them
that
I highlight say to "use Advanced to change settings that affect all ***
files". However when I click on *DBX, the Advanced box changes to
"Restore"
and it doesn't say any blurb about Using Advanced etc. In fact, it
doesn't
say *.dbx at all. So to my way of thinking, clicking on Restore for
that
one just might put it back to whatever it was. I hope you understand
what I
am talking about.

I still have no Cookie or TIF folder in that Documents & Settings tree
which
bothers me, but I can get rid of that stuff a different way. However,
I
guess that is an IE problem, so will be content with an answer to the
*dbx
files and what should be the "Open With" program. And I have no
intention
of opening them, but was messing around and obviously (to my eyes)
changed
something. I am not having any problems with them.

Thanks guys......Heather (Figgs)
