new computer

[JLS]

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows XP as the
OS. I had been using a computer running Windows ME on
which I had a fairly large Favorites file. When I
purchased the new XP computer I also bought a Sandisk
512MB flash drive which I used to transfer my two address
books from the old to the new computer. It was relatively
easy, as the address books have an export/import
function. But, I'm at a loss when it comes to
transferring the favorites.

Any help would be appreciated!!!

You export and import the Favorites in exactly the same way.

Just copy the favourites folder to the flash drive then copy it to your new
computer.

Here is what you want to copy, go to
c:\documents and settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\favorites

Copy this favorites folder over to your new PC in the same location.

Good Luck
