Moving Favorites, Addr Book, Email folders to new computer

J

Judith

Hi,

I would like to copy to a CD the folders containing Favorites, Address Book
(actually, I have two, under two identities), and my Email message folders,
and then copy these to a new computer. Old computer runs under Win98SE, IE
version is 6.0; new computer will run under XP.

Would someone help me locate these folders by name?

Assuming I copy these old folders to the new computer (with empty folders),
do I just use the copy or move command to send these to the identically
named folders?

Thanks for your help --Judy
