TSGL: combine bookmarks and favorites

[The Computer Whisperer]

ok, by merge, you mean make it look like one folder full of files is the
same folder as another folder full of files but is actually in 2 locations,
but you still want to be able to keep the IE and Firefox ones separate?

could you please explain the logic/reason?

It seems you dont care if all the bookmarks are mixed up together in one big
group as long as there are no duplicates, right?

By the way, it's not a 2 file merge, it's a 2 folder "merge". the links in
your favourites folder are files or shortcuts.

I think copying the contents of your favourites folder to your bookmarks
folder and then change the location of favourites for IE would do exactly
what you need. right?

Regards,

Justin
