As for the desktop thing...
Copy and paste the following lines into a Notepad file.

[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop

Save the file to your Desktop as Show Desktop.scf. Next left click on the file you just created and drag it down to the Quick Launch bar and release.

Good luck?

Mikhal....i love you, the desktop thing worked! ;)

thank again buddy!

it's so wierd that a profile MUST be created in FF to backup your favorites. do those also include the imported IE ones?

why can't they make an extension that would automatically save the same boomemark you saved on Firefox also on Internet explorer! :cry: that way you could just backup IE favorites(which is dead easy), then import them again in the future for any reason!

that way none of this Firefox profile creating crap is necessary!

Why dont you make that extension? Everything Mozilla-related is open source.

i dunno how to program! :( had i did, i would have done the world a favor!


this is annoying me so much im actually thinking of going back to IE! :( FF version 1.0.4 also feels slow for some reason, maybe it's just on my PC?(2.4Ghz/1GB RAM)

also i hear that there is going to be a new major FF release? ....soon....maybe?

Because there's no point in browsing anything in IE anymore if you can browse it in FireFox. I still don't get why you're having all these issues and why you want to find these files (you never did answer me before). I have never had to deal with profiles ever with FireFox and I can do whatever I want with bookmarks. It sounds almost like you're trying to make things hard on yourself.

dude, im telling you, i cannot find a favorites folder in my FF directory? why mozilla to do it this way is beyind me!

and btw, there is a point in browsing in IE, thats why they have the "IE view" extension. some sites don't open on FF(very few), and some have a totaly messed up layout unless viewed in IE.

This I understand, but my point was, why would you bookmark it in FF if you were using IE for it all the time anyway? The only site I use IE for is Launch... so my bookmark for it is in IE, and not in FF, since Launch doesn't work in FF.

Well, that's what I'm getting at... why use IE unless it's a site you aren't browsing in FF. Way I see it, you browse in FF, bookmark it for use there... if it doesn't work in FF, open up IE and bookmark it there since that's what you'll be using to view it anyway. I see no need to bookmark it in FF if you can't view it in FF.

I'm just lost in your logic of wanting it in both when you can't use it in both. And if you use IE just for shits and giggles, and that's why, (aka, you browse all sites in IE)... then why do you have FF? Way I see it, I only use IE if I have to.
