Combining Netscape Bookmarks with IE Favorites

[Guest]

When I first starting using my Netscape 4.79 Browser I organized my
Bookmarks; by creating a “Alphabetical Folder Tree†( A-Z ), and inserting or
moving saved Bookmarks into the folders within the A-Z structure.

As I gradually began using IE 6.0 more, and Netscape less, I handed the
organization of my new IE bookmarks in the same way.

However, I then found I had two structurally similar bookmark files, that
differed in terms of specific saved Bookmarks, ( & Folder Names within the
A-Z Folders ).

In an attempt to merge all my Bookmarks into a single “Combined Bookmark
Directoryâ€, I tried importing my Netscape Bookmarks, into Internet Explorer
Favorites.

Now to my chagrin I find my IE Favorites contain, one A-Z directory called
“Bookmarksâ€,( the bookmark file I created in IE ); and another A-Z directory
called “Imported Bookmarksâ€, ( the one I created in Netscape.)

And, I am forever switching back & forth. Saving new ( & looking for old )
bookmarks sometimes under “Bookmarksâ€, sometimes under “Imported Bookmarksâ€.

Please tell me there is there yet some simple way I have missed, ( or maybe
a third party Utility Program I can use ), to get all of my bookmarks ( &
differing Named Folders & Sub-Folders, in the two separate A-Z directories ),
sorted out into a single complete A-Z Bookmark directory?

You can do that via Windows Explorer. The Favorites folder is, after all, a
simple folder.

Otherwise, you can try this:

Be warned, I have not tried out this product, and do not know if it will
install adware or anything else unpleasant.

Thank you:
In Window’s Explorer, I went to the Folder C:\Documents and Settings\Alan E.
Barrett\Favorites\Bookmarks_IE.
In which I found the “Favorites†Bookmarks ( A to Z Folders ), that I had
created in Internet Explore, & the “Bookmarks†( A to Z Folders ), I had
“Imported†into IE from Netscape Bookmarks.
Then using the Windows Explorer “Split-File Windowâ€, I was able to see both
sets of Bookmarks side by side, & to move individual Bookmarks around, and
put them in the Folders I wanted to.

Also, by double clicking on a particular bookmark, I was able to go right
to its Web-Site and see what it was, which enabled me to shorten or change
the “Bookmark’s File Name†more to my liking! )
