[QUOTE="WolfStock, post: 1108395, member: 148220"] Thanks. The first two don't have anything. #3 does have a Bookmarks.plist file. However judging by the date stamp on it, I think it's the stripped down version (default, plus one bookmark I've since added). Is there any way to see the content of this file and/or edit it? I also tried doing a file search on "Bookmark" using Finder. Not sure why, but it didn't find this Bookmark.plist file. However it did find two Bookmarks directories: 1. <home> > Desktop > Library > Caches > Metadata > Safari > Bookmarks 2. <home> > Library > Caches > Metadata > Safari > Bookmarks The both contained files with scrambled names - obviously meant to just be read by Safari. #2 only had a few files (about 4), whereas #1 had many files, and was older, so I figured #1 was probably the cached bookmarks. I drug #1 over into the #2 site, overwriting the files, and re-opened Safari, but no change - it still showed my newer, very incomplete set. So - help is still appreciated if possible. Thanks!
