Hi Don and all, I guess you can teach an old person new tricks. The reason why I will bring up my favorites through the run dialog box is to clean out unwanted or old favorites in the list before migrating them. I then just do a copy and paste into an external drigve of my choice. I rather take care of the clean up before migrating. I will tuck the other suggestions away for a rainy day. Thanks.
