Have I got this right?
The new website will have a different address to the old one, so you have to change it in favourites to get to the new one?
And when the old one is taken down, your previous link in favourites will no longer work?
I have the link in my "normal" favourite list, also as an icon on my desktop, and also have an icon on the bottom of my XP screen (and I don't even know how that came there and how to change it). That is the one I use all the time because it is always at the bottom of the screen for quick access.
