How Can I Copy My Internet Explorer Favorites to Another Computer? 

Question: I copied my Favorites folder from my desktop to my laptop, hoping 
that it would then be in Internet Explorer 6.0 (IE6) on my laptop. However, it 
is not. I found the folder in my Windows directory but it does not come up when 
I click on favorites in IE6. How can I get that list of favorites into IE6 on 
my laptop? I am using WinXP Home. - Paul S 

Answer: We've got some good news for you, Paul! You've been doing things the 
hard way. Internet Explorer 6.0 makes it easy to copy your Favorites from one 
machine to another. Open Internet Explorer on the desktop machine, click the 
File menu and click the Export/Import command. That will bring up a Wizard that 
will walk you through the process of exporting your Favorites to a file. 
Transfer that file to the other computer (across a network if you have one, or 
on a floppy, removable disk or CD-R), open Internet Explorer, click the File 
menu and click Export/Import. Run through the Wizard and import the Favorites 
to the other computer.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
