How d'you set this to be on a different drive, and "move" my current ones to
a directory on a different drive ?
( I've forgotten! ) <blush> ...so that the next time I sit in front of the
thing for a week and reinstall, I won't lose them !

regards, Richard
 
1. Close all Internet Explorer windows
2. Open the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\Richard"
3. Right-click the "Favorites" folder, and choose "Cut"
4. Open the destination folder (say F:\), right-click and then choose
"Paste"

Thanx Ramesh. ...I thought it would have been more complicated than that !

You're welcome Richard. Complicated way is to alter the User Shell Folders
favorites path in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders
