    WERE you not being such an ass about it I would tell you how to share Explorer's bookmarks. BUT since you are being snobby about something so simple I'm not going to take the time.

    SIMPLY the way you keep CAPATILIZING everything.



    THAT and the fact that you PUT 'OSX' in the title, asking if there was a WAY to IMPORT.



    It SOUNDS like you were blaming OS X (or 'OSX') and not whos PROBLEM it really IS. Which would be the PROGRAMMERS at MICROSOFT.



    ALSO you had to USE the <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" /> smiley.



    That and the fact that you act like an ass in other threads and I would refuse to help you no matter what.



    BTW, why the hell are you still using OS X? I thought you said it was slow? Go back and sit in OS 9's coffin??we don't want you!

    I've never actually tried this and unfortunately I no longer have OS9 installed, but the following should work.



    In Explorer OSX, select the Organize Favorites option from the Favorites menu (select the option itself, not one of the three sub menus New Folder, New Favorite or New Divider). A window will appear listing your OSX favorites. Select the Import Favorites option from the File menu. Navigate to the file containing your OS9 favorites, select it and click the Add to Favorites button. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what this file is called, but in the OSX version it seems to be called Favorites.html. I expect the file in the OS9 version has the same name, but is located in a sub folder in the OS9 applications folder. You can always use Sherlock to find it (note the American spelling of favorites though, no 'u', and make sure you select the OS9 file, not the OSX file).



    I hope this helps to answer one of your questions.

    Are sphincter and dickhead allowed under the new rules, sorry, guidelines ?

    Dickhead sounds a bit crude, or is it silly, oh I don't know.

    me too.



    kittylitter, you may try opening up both version of explorer and copy and paste the bookmarks from your respective "organize bookmarks" popups. you may have to drag them in one at a time. i can't recall. i don't think there is any way to import your other prefs though. maybe someone else will post a better way.

    Man, you have got a serious problem.it's a simple question, d'you have to bite his head off? I also thought that people were allowed to have their own opinions about OS's and just everythingin general....God, someone needs to either give you some anger management classes or probation from posting!

    Maybe we should refrain from personal attacks. Yes, Spart was way out of line for attacking you with no provocation, but why do you bring his sex life (or lack thereof?) into it? That doesn't have anything to do with it. I still understand why you're angry though.



    Spart, just because you don't like kittylitterdesign's previous posts doesn't mean you have to troll his new posts. Especially when his new posts are simple, innocent questions. Even IF kittylitterdesign was a troll, it's not like sabotaging his threads is going to make him stop. On a final note, it's amusing that you claim to be against trolling when you so clearly just trolled yourself.
