Hi,

Copy them from G:\Windows\favorites to your local profile and overwrite if
prompted:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\favorites

Hi,

In Win98, the favorites are stored under \windows\favorites. You may have
the system set to hide folders with the system attribute. Open Windows
Explorer, click tools/folder options, go to the view tab, and set the
options so that you can see hidden and system folders. Then try again.

In Win98, the favorites are stored under \windows\favorites

Unless he has created users then they are not at \windows\favorites
