Hallo,
I saved a lot of pages from the internet and i would like to get rid off the accompanying folder where all the images, stylesheet and so are stored. The problem is that if I delete the folder windows also delete the file. I know that if I rename the file or the folder than they are no more associated but the problem is that I have a lot of files...
does someone know the trick?

From the Windows Explorer menu - Tools - Folder Options - View - Advanced Settings - Manipulate linked (something) as a unit - untick?
It appears to be missing on my PC (XPpro), sure I had it at some time!

Andy.
