how do I get my favorites back to explorer from winzip?

[Guest]

I've zipped my favorites to a disk via winzip before my computer went into the shop and now I can't figure out how to get them from winzip to Explorer. I click export on the winzip menu and explorer isn't an option? Where do I export them to? Please help!

Copy Bookmark.htm to your HDD, remove the Read Only attribute it may have,
then...

IE File>Import and Export>Import Favorites> point the wizard to the copy
of Bookmark.htm

Did you save your Favorites to disk as a file named Bookmark.htm (via IE
File>Import and Export>Export Favorites)?

figures this wouldn't be simple...the favorites couldn't be saved after my comp. died so I'm working off a disk I saved favorites to 1 year ago. I assume that's how I did it, but its been so long I don't even remember if it was me who saved them so I can't tell you how they got to the disk. the file is titled 'favorites.zip' if that helps. what's HDD

I think you mean extract in Winzip, not export.

Just extract them to the Favorites folder. Find it in Explorer first.

As Alan suggests, you want to /extract/ the file(s) from 'favorites.zip'
(once you've copied the zip file to your hard drive [HDD]). If (one of) the
extracted files is Bookmark.htm, you can then import it via IE File>Import
and Export. If it's a copy of your old Favorites folder, things are
murkier, I'm afraid.

For future reference, there are numerous ways to store your Favorites online
(e.g., http://www.onlinefavourites.com/home.htm).
