| SAVING AOL FAVORITE PLACES (incase you have to uninstall/reinstall AOL) Create a folder in the C:Drive of your windows explorer....move (click and drag) your download, organize, idb...and any other folders that you may have created (all others will be created automaticaly when you reinstall AOL), or you may also move these files to your desktop for safe keeping instead of your C:Drive. Then uninstall your AOL. After you have installed your AOL...simply move(click and drag) all folders back to the new AOL folder..it will say something like, there is already a folder by the name, do you wish to replace it.....say yes. |
