I realize this is a little off topic, but for us AOL users, our favorite places is where most of our genealogy information and links are stored. I've heard of people losing it all. I just thought this could be useful. I'm sorry if this is too off topic. There are 3 ways to back up your favorite places... Lynn unicrnhorn@aol.com << Favorite Places are in \AOL30\ORGANIZE\"your screen name". You can just copy that file to disk. If you want a hard copy of the favorites: You can print the address book or favorite places by opening a logging session: 1. Click on FILE in the top left corner of your screen 2. Click on LOG MANAGER 3. To start a new log, under SESSION LOG click on OPEN LOG (to make changes to an existing log, click on APPEND LOG) 4. Give your session a name (make a note of the directory it is being stored in) 5. Click on OK (your logging session is now open) 6. Open your favorite places or address book 7. Click on the first entry and then click on MODIFY (this will show you the name and the URL for the favorite places or the address from the address book) 8. Click on OK 9. Continue doing this for all the entries 10. When you are through, click on CLOSE LOG Now you are ready to pull up that session to print it: 1. Click on FILE in the top left corner of your screen 2. Click on OPEN 3. Open the directory the log was saved to (probably in download) 4. Scroll down to the name you gave it and click on it once 5. Click on OK (the session log will appear) 6. Print You can also print the session log later while you are off line. This way you can use your word processor and add carriage returns, etc. to make it easier to read. For more info on how to use the Log Manager, click on the red question mark at the top of your screen (or go to keyword HELP), click on FIND IT NOW, and do a search on LOG MANAGER. >> Another way is... Open Favorite Places right click on the favorite places folder click on save folder as save it to floppy . That way if AOL crashes You have the favorites. You can open the saved folder with File at the top left, then click on your favorites and re-save them back to your favorite places box.
