I have folders full of URLs categorized on an external USB HD and they were
set when Firefox was my default browser. I have deleted Firefox from my PC
and now use Enigma. My question; can I delete all references to Mozilla
Firefox in the Registry without losing these accumulated shortcuts; in other
words, will my new default browser pick these up and associate them.? Thanks
for any help with this...

Check in the online help for Enigma or ask the author of this software
about how to import the Favorites. When thi is done you should be able
to delete the Registry references to Firefox safely.
 
Hi Sandman,

IE stores the favorites in separate .URL files. Mozilla Firefox stores it in a "netstape-style" bookmark.htm file. Not sure what's the case of Enigma Browser.

¤ Free Download of Enigma Browser:

Generally, any browser should handle .URL files (Internet Shortcut) if the association is properly set.
