That was a great help - thanks. Once I knew to look for *.msf I had a chance. I would never have thought to look under windows\application data - it just doesn't fit the description - but that's where I found them. This is one thing that I thought was much better under Netscape 4 - you could choose to have these folders on a data directory, well away from the fragile install directories. Thanks again Anne
