Can't back up my IE 6 favorites

X

xx-google

I have about 2,000 IE 6 favorites. When I attempt to back up the
favorites file to my secondary hard drive, Windows Explorer invariably
crashes. Sometimes it crashes immediately; sometimes it appears to
back up a few dozen of the favorites and then crashes.

Do you know why this happens?

How would I fix it?

One theory I had was that the mini IE icon that is attached to each
favorite (not to be confused the with IE desktop icon) is corrupted. I
offer this guess because often when I scroll through a file containing
many favorites, the scrolling goes slowly as the icon for each
successive favorite appears with a brief delay; the brief delays add up
to major sluggishness.

I'm using IE 6 with service pack 2.

How are you backing up your Favorites? The correct way is to export them
(File > Import and Export).
