Andrei Cirdu

Very much appreciated!  Can it be a sticky?

I hadn’t backed-up my IE Favourites when I last did a complete reinstall and lost links to resources and favourite artists that I’d collected for years!

I’m sure your list will save me hours of searching.  Thank you very much!

Lee.

It’s a sticky now. I’ll leave it a sticky until someone objects. :)

Nice compilation Andrei.
