Backing up Internet Shortcuts

[Marco]

Greetings,
Lately I've accumulated quite the list of internet links
in my 'Favorites', so much so I'd be lost if i lost them.
What file do i need to backup to be sure i can simply
replenish them if I ever lose them?
Thanks

Depending on which browser you are using, the process is differnet.

For Internet Explorer, it is not just a "file" but a complete folder.

C:\Documents and Settings\<User name>\Favorites (???)

It isn't just one file. They can all be backed up by any means you have -
ie: cd, floppy, another drive, etc...
They are located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\your user name here\Favorites

File menu - Import Export and follow the wizard.

Open Internet Explorer, click the File menu, click Import and Export. The
Import and Export wizard will open, click the Next button, click Export
Favorites, click Next, the Favorites folder will be highlighted, which means
that the Favorites folder and it's subfolders, if any, will be copied to one
file named bookmarks.htm, and the default is that the file will be placed in
your My Documents folder (unless you change the path), then follow the rest
of the wizard which will end with a dialog box that says the Favorites were
successfully Exported. If you want, you can copy or backup that
bookmark.htm file. When you want to restore your Favorites, or import them
to another system, use the same Import Export wizard, this time select
Import Favorites, and then selecting the option to Import from File or
Address, and give the path to the bookmark.htm file (if you've put it
somewhere other than the My Documents folder, such as a floppy disk, or a
CD-R/CD-RW etc.)
