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) |

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

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) "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...
