XP/IE/dreaded AOL

[~Sage]

I'm installing DSL for a friend tomorrow who has AOL for his ISP. I
plan to uninstall AOL and AOL adapters before the DSL install. I've
never even seen AOL in action, and am wondering what to do about saving
his *favorites*, will I lose them when I uninstall? Does AOL use IE
with just it's name on it or have they changed it somehow? Anything
that anybody can help me with prior to uninstalling will be most
appreciated.
