Restore AOL Settings

[CompuDocs]

I know I should know this, but it's one of those things that I have neglected to commit to memory (or paper for that matter), because I had to call one of the bright young "techs" at AOL one time to figure it out.

Question: After completely removing AOL from the PC, the Organize folder being saved to the desktop, how do I put it back in AOL after I have installed a fresh copy? I have tried to copy it back to the AOL directory, but the user names didn't show up.

Is there a step by step in saving all user info (address book, favorite places, users) and THEN putting it all back?

Thanks,

Charlie

Well, I usually just email myself the Favorites by dragging them into and email, and then I copy/paste the address book into another email. If there's a better way, I would love to hear it !

Here is what I do. I just copy the main username file located in the Organize file to a temp folder. After I uninstall and re-install AOL, I sign on again using the main username. After that I sign off. I then copy the file I saved in the temp folder back to the new Organize folder (overwriting the file that is there) and when I sign on again, my favorites, any saved e-mails and my address book comes back.
Hope that helps.
