Hi Deanne, The difference between the two as far as I can tell is that when transferring using the copy & paste method everything stays the same as your My Favorites folder on the base computer. The links/URL's stay in their respective folders. When exporting all the links are outside of their folders and so you have all of your folder names mixed in with your links/ URL's. Take care. Mike

I had heard that you could transfer the favorites folder this way, too, but didn't have a clue where to start. I have also heard that using the import/export feature makes browsing easier. Any thoughts?
