What the fricken frick was I to do? Abandon any idea of searching, select all, drag files into separate folders - Sherlock does not have the ability to search a specific directory, it either searches the entire HD or nothing.
Need Internet access - a MacHome CD from 1999 has self-extracting copies of Internet Explorer 4.5 and Netscape - good, because Stuffit Expander on my machine is not working, and I would not archive it. Software Update returns a very simple error "Software Update cannot run." Thanks.
So I write this as an interesting, ongoing tale from hell. Thank whoever for Boris’ blog site and hands that seem to write essays so my brain doesn’t have to. First thing - get updated version of Netscape. Fortunately, Preferences are intact, but some Control Panels and Extensions seem to be missing. I have a boot CD of MacOS 9.2.2 made from my original system folder from approximately a year ago - nothing has changed since then. I’ll remove all extensions and control panels and replace them with copies from the CD. Macintosh HD now has a Folder with the Quicktime Icon - when DiskWarrior repaired the hard drive, the System Folder was not "blessed" so aparently it gave the Hard Drive a new icon, unless that was part of the corruption, or fixing the corruption.
What a nightmare. I’m just thankful this all works, though. More later… hopefully from IE 5.0.6!
