Is it possible please to locate Favorites away from C: drive. Normally I put
all my softwate routines in another partition (D:) and I would like to do
the same with Favorites, so that in the event that I want to re-instal the
operating system (and re-format) I don't have to remember to have an
up-to-date copy of Favorites elsewhere.
Thanks.

Keep in mind that having your favorites on another partition
doesn't guarentee that they wouldn't be lost if something went
wrong with your system. If they are important enough to you
they should be backed up to a CD or external hard drive.

Man thanks. I have already implemented the first suggestion without any
trouble. I will look at the other options later.
