What OS are you using? I'm not sure that it matters, but I now use XP Pro.
What I do when in trouble is to explore the contents of the user0000
and other user folders from the command prompt (with Juno
inactive). I move complete files around that way, and edit the
director.frm file with a DOS editor.
I find File Commander convenient for manipulating these files -
it's a DOS application, but preserves long file names.
I'll elaborate later if you wish, but have to go out now for an appointment,
Geoff
