had several all-but-one functions, ugly, but worked. just what i needed, without all the faff.

perhaps dated code, did not delete empty directories, however. found them, but then something couldn't get through perhaps windows protections,.. not sure. sat there at 0% complete, no errors, no pop-ups, no consent-on-the-desktop, etc. Might need a few code updates, but the CORE NEED, of being able to combine future searches for a individual bookmark regardless of where AMONGST your mess of directories, after you've removed duplicates,.. for a minimal-effort combination of the two,.. i could do. Good enough. Thanks!
