Hi dee
I hope you and Peter will pardon me for jumping in, but, you might try the
following and see if it helps:
This will explain how to restore your Favorites after you've saved them.
You'll also see how you can add someone else's stored Favorites to your own
Web browser's list.
By saving your Favorites (or "exporting" them) to a single file, the file
becomes usable set of links. It's a Web page all on its own. Double clicking
on it opens it up in any Web browser (not just Internet Explorer). It also
means you can open that single file full of Favorites at any time and use it
just as you would use any list of hyperlinks.
To bring back the Favorites that you saved (or to turn someone else's saved
Favorites into your own), just do the following:
Click the "File" menu in Internet Explorer.
Click "Import and Export."
Click the "Next" button
Click on "Import Favorites."
Then click "Next."
Locate the file you had saved using the "Browse" button and double click on
it when you locate it.
You're done. The Favorites that are in the saved file will appear in your
regular Favorites list, and the saved file will still be around. ("Import"
just copies them. They're not disturbed otherwise.) This way you can share
them or use those you may get from others.
Voila!
If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.
Hope this helps
Jan
