Netscape 2.0 Bookmarks, Help!!!!!

Post by Greg Baxt » Sat, 27 Apr 1996 04:00:00



I have recently installed Netscape 2.0 on my 486dx2 66, Windows 3.1, Dos 5.0.
My bookmark file carried over from my 1.2 version fine, but when I add a new
bookmark and try to save the bookmark I receive a message window that states
that there is an error saving the bookmark file. I have tried to retitle the
file and start with a new one, but I get the same error. Have looked in the
win.ini file to make sure that the location of the netscape.ini file is right,
and have looked in the netscape.ini file to make sure that the location of the
bookmark file is right, they are. Please, if anyone has seen this problem and
has found a fix or work around let me know, it is driving me crazy.

Thank you,
Greg.

Go to general preferences, select apps and change your temp directory
(which is likely set to C:\temp) to  C:\windows\temp. It should work.

Is the netscape.ini file pinting to the DIRECTORY the bookmark file is in?
If so it should point to the FILE ITSELF........

SHOULD NOT BE C:\NETSCAPE\ or whatever.

SHOULD BE C:\NETSCAPE\BOOKMARK.HTM or whatever.

There was also as I recall a change in the location of the bookmark
file from 1.22 to 2.0.  Placement in 2.0 should be in the navigator
directory, not Netscape.

1. HELP! Netscape 2.0 Bookmark Problem

Using:  Netscape 2.0 (Worldnet version)
        Windows 95

Problem: "Bookmarks drop-down menu" shows five bookmarks - not folder
names as it did a couple of days ago.

Looking at the "Bookmarks - BOOKMARK.HTM" screen (Go to Bookmarks),
the folder icon whose bookmarks are listed in the "Bookmarks drop-down
menu" has a small symbol on top of it which looks like a piece of
paper
with horizontal lines.  This folder is about fifth folder down from
the
top.

I can find no information about the "list" at the bottom of the
"Bookmarks drop-down menu" nor the significance of the small symbol
over the folder icon.  It appears the symbol has something to do with
what appears in the pull-down menu.

Please lead me to the explanation and tell me how to get the symbol
back to the "Joe Blow's Bookmarks" folder at the top of the list -
which
is where I think it used to be.

Thanks!
