How do I move IE favorites to a new machine?

[Al Dykes]

Got a new XP machine and an old one, which has a large IE "favorite"
collection. How can I move them to the new machine?

I guess one way would be to use Google bookmark sync. Is there any
downside to that?

Thanks.

there is a "favorites" folder
that you can copy over to the
new machine.

Hello,

You can copy the Favorites folder located in c:\documents and
settings\<user name>\favorites to the other computer's favorites folder
located in documents and settings.

Use the option built in to IE.
IE-File-Export and create a single HTML file for use with
IE-File-Import on the new machine.

Maybe you can try Power Favorites. It is a software which can help you
sync your favorites among computers automatically.

You can easily manage your own favorites, you don't need a seperate app
to do it.
