AaronMi Thanks. Even if I had a PhD from MIT to be able to perform this (yes, or watching a video would help), I do not have the administrative priviliges necessary to execute this. Nor will my IT department help me. They either don't know how to do it themselves, or they refuse to help, believing that my needs are too trivial to bother with. Hence the workaround where I literally cut and paste a page at a time into wiki pages and redirected every single link by hand.
I was just hoping that there was a simple "switch" to set to "permissive" being that I created these simple pages myself, and -- while not a luddite by any stretch -- am not up to creating malware which will blow up the internet.
Just hoping that before the powers that be decide to pull the rug out from under me again, I can simply "migrate" my files rather than rebuild them one at a time. After all, I thought technology was supposed to make things easier for lowly peons like me....not so much anymore.
However, I will keep a copy of this.

I am having the same problems. I have some scenarios built in eLearning which are simple html5 files, and I want staff to be able to simply click on the index file to open.
Has ANYONE found a simple NON technical way of doing this?
Thanks
