Remember, this did work for some people and didn't for others. Of those
who said it worked for them, some later reported that the jaggies did
return. So, all in all, YMMV...

It may and it may not. Depends how MoreFolders is storing these
information. If MoreFolders is using a soup on his own, then you would
be safe. But I would bet it probably uses an entry in the system soup.
In such case, you would loose everything.
One thing you could try. Get SBM Utilities. Open the soup editor. Open
the system soup. Make a copy of the soup. Then, open this copy. Find the
MoreFolders entry and delete all other entries but the MoreFolders' one.
Then, do your backup, hard reset, restore. Finally, copy back the entry
you saved into the newly created system soup. To be safer, when you
create the copy, make sure you enter a specific application symbol, and
also make sure you make a duplicate on an external flash RAM card, just
to be safe.

No, not the Cross. In fact, the Cross stylus can fit almost any Cross
pen.
