Hello Mo,

Go to Start=> Run and type in "favorites" {without the quotes}
Copy this folder to a CD, or other removable media, or a backup drive.

Hello,

Start IE. Then go to File, Import and Export. Perform a export of the
favorites. Save the file in another medium such as a thumb drive.

After reinstalling XP, perform the same step as above, choosing to Import
the file back.

You can also just copy the Favorites folder located in c:\documents and
settings\<user name>\favorites and restore it back after formatting.

use File EXPORT and export it to a place you select.
then copy it to removable media.
when you install fresh.
use File IMPORT to bring it back in.

That is, copy the "Favourites" folder under your username/profile.

COPY is not the best process.
it is best to use EXPORT/IMPORT from the File menu.
