Netscape 7.0 can't find my profile from version 6.0

Postby garyss7 » Wed 04 Sep, 2002 12:48 pm

Just upgraded to netscape 7.0 from 6.0 and 7.0 finds all profiles
for my family but mine! I still have 4.79 loaded, is there a way I can
load bookmarks from 4.79 into 7.0? Message sez it can't find directory for my name. Thanks, Gary

If you know the location of your bookmarks HTML file (bookmarks.html or similar) in your old profile:

Create a new profile
Open the Bookmark Manager (Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks)
Import your existing bookmarks (Tools -> Import)

Hi Gary,

You can also copy, then rename your Communicator 4.79 bookmark.htm file to: bookmarks.html

Then replace the existing file in Netscape 7.0, with the renamed Communicator Bookmark file.
