Can anyone tell me how to search my bookmarks in Explorer 5.5, please?

Blackadder you could try the following, which works for me (using Win95):

1) Run internet explorer (as in the former file manager)
2) Expand the "Windows" folder on the left, and [single] click on "Favorites"
3) Click on Tools>Find>Files or folders
4) The regular search window opens, with the "look in" target already specified as "C:\WINDOWS\Favorites"
5) Bob's your uncle.

N.B. You can do this without bothering with explorer (file manager) by just going straight to the Find function in the start menu and typing in the "look in" field as in point 5.
