Joan, thanks for the tips; however, trying to copy and paste each Favorite to another program is too big of a task at this time. I have a congenital back problem and am a candidate for a third surgery as soon as surgeons make up their mind what they want to do <G>. I read and reread options which I printed from various websites last night trying to find what would suit our needs, along with reading everyone's thoughts on having a cable provider and a separate account for email, genealogy, etc., which sounds ideal. For a small amount monthly to AOL, if I am understanding what I read, I can remain with AOL and keep everything I have, Favorites, mail address or anything else associated with them. Beside many of my Documents there is an AOL symbol. Would those items be on my hard drive like the PDF files, etc. Thanks again for your suggestions...puts a different spin on things.
