OE dbx folders Open With.......

Hi Guys.....

Haven't done much with the "restored" dbx files......some transferred OK
onto the new format and some didn't.

But in messing around with that OE Identities folder in Windows Explorer, I
think (but am not sure) that I changed something and want to know if I did
and how to change it. I thought I was being careful and cancelling my way
out of things, but not sure on this.

All of the *.dbx files now show Firefox as the program that will OPEN them.
Short of going to a couple of the neighbours to see what their folders show
as an icon thing, can you guys tell me if yours show Firefox??

I connected the Clickfree backup and the older files were also FF......so am
just not sure.

If I go into Control Panel/FolderOptions, under File Types, any of them that
I highlight say to "use Advanced to change settings that affect all ***
files". However when I click on *DBX, the Advanced box changes to "Restore"
and it doesn't say any blurb about Using Advanced etc. In fact, it doesn't
say *.dbx at all. So to my way of thinking, clicking on Restore for that
one just might put it back to whatever it was. I hope you understand what I
am talking about.

I still have no Cookie or TIF folder in that Documents & Settings tree which
bothers me, but I can get rid of that stuff a different way. However, I
guess that is an IE problem, so will be content with an answer to the *dbx
files and what should be the "Open With" program. And I have no intention
of opening them, but was messing around and obviously (to my eyes) changed
something. I am not having any problems with them.

Thanks guys......Heather (Figgs)

Don't worry about it. You can "open" DBX files anyway. w

Yes (and you should've been paying closer attention when installing FF, my
dear wink).

Installing FF didn't cause the OE problem.....I did. (G) I have used FF
for a long time and that never happened before. I must have accidentally
OK'd something when I was prowling in the OE Identity folder. Birthday????
And I forgot to say that Ms. E sends her very best to you, along with some
sort of boa?? (eg)
