the Internet Explorer Favorites folder in Windows Vista

This article describes how to move Microsoft Internet Explorer favorites from 
an earlier version of Microsoft Windows to the Internet Explorer Favorites 
folder in Windows Vista. 
MORE INFORMATION
When you perform a custom installation of Windows Vista, Internet Explorer 
favorites that you used in the earlier version of Windows are stored in the 
Favorites folder. The Favorites folder is located in the Windows.old folder in 
Windows Vista. The Windows.old folder is generated when you perform a custom 
installation of Windows Vista.

To move Internet Explorer favorites from the earlier version of Windows to the 
Internet Explorer Favorites folder in Windows Vista, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Internet Explorer. 

2. Press ALT+C to display the Favorites Center, click 
   Favorites, and then click the left arrow icon to pin 
   the Favorites Center. 

3. Click Start, type   %systemdrive%\Windows.old 
   in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

Note In this step, %systemdrive% is a placeholder 
for the drive where you installed Windows Vista. 
Typically, Windows Vista is installed on drive C.  

4. Double-click Documents and Settings, double-click 
   the User_Name folder, and then double-click Favorites. 

Note In this step, User_Name is a placeholder for the 
user account name that you used to log on to the computer. 

5. Use a drag-and-drop operation to move all files 
   from the Favorites folder to the Internet Explorer 
   Favorites area that you pinned in step 2. 

6. After you finish moving all files, click the x button 
   in the Favorites Center in Internet Explorer to close 
   the Favorites Center.
