I've had a new computer, but installed the same version of AOL that I used on my old one. When I first logged on to AOL I found that my filing cabinet was empty, and all my favorite places had disappeared. Can anyone tell me where I can find them? ------------------- Barbara, Yes, they are right where you left them on you OLD computer. They are saved to your computer and you changed computers. You will need to copy the organize folder from your OLD computer to a CD or a flash drive and then move the CD or flash drive to your new computer and save the organize folder there. So fire up your old computer and start copying. While you are on there, open your AOL program and go to keyword: Favorite Places Preferences and check to have your Favorites stored on AOL. Then when you go to your NEW computer, open your favorite places and they should all be in place. Next repeat going to keyword: Favorite Places Preferences and this time uncheck to have your Favorites stored on AOL. You now have your Favorites on your NEW computer. Your computer is rather like a filing cabinet. When the old one gets full or old and tired, you go to the store and buy a new filing cabinet. One that is bigger and can hold all your old files and have room for new ones to come as well. However, you can't bring the new filing cabinet home from the store, set it up and open it expecting to see all your old files there, ready to go. You have to physically move the old files from the old cabinet to the new one. Same with your computers. Having the Internet can make moving files easier for some things, but others have to be done the old-fashioned way. :-) I recently got a new computer and I had the old one still set up for about 2 weeks so I could still get my files when I needed something. I tried to move things right away, but there were some things I didn't think about until I needed to use them. My desk was a *bit* crowded, but it worked for me. Sharon
