I upgraded a neighbor's system for them (W98->XP) and the XP IE didn't retain
their favorites. Anyway to find or import them from the old W98 folder still
on the hard drive?
Thanks, Jay
 
Windows 9x stores the favorites in C:\Windows\Favorites path, whereas in
Windows 2000/XP it's within the user profile homepath. Move the files *.URL
and folders from C:\Windows\Favorites to %Userprofile%\Favorites
