Re: [CGUYS] Silly but important question...
Oops... I changed the computers... Was able to reinstall the Favorites, have connected Excell and Word with the D: Data drive. Will struggle now with the addresses in Palm and the Splash ID Data. What a pain. To make my week end more stressful (fun?), Windows XP Home is not allowing me to enter as administrator... I have not much experience with Windows Home (I used to have Professional). I can predict hours in the computer and troubles with the wife... Disappointed that now I have 4 giga memory, a very good mother board and I keep still having the sign that I am not having enough resources... Very disappointed... Thank you you all!

You've apparently succeeded in scaring Marcio who is now still convinced he's got to find and transfer files on his computer.

Re: [CGUYS] Silly but important question...
I am not sure why we make this stuff all so hard. For Friefox etc. I find the Bookmark.html file and copy it to a memory stick. I then copy it to the new computer and stick it where it is supposed to go. When I start the program it finds the file and it has my bookmarks. For IE I go to the favorites directory and copy it to a memory stick and again copy them to the new system in the favorites location there and when Is tart up IE it finds all my books marks.

Re: [CGUYS] Silly but important question...
Do a search for it, and make sure the results are set to tell you details. If I remember correctly you are moving from an older version to XP. Also do a search for Bookmark.html it should find it for you. Usually the firefox/mozilla ones are in the working directory of the web browser, but I am not sure anymore.

For Vista, it's C:\Users\username\Favorites. (Actually, in Vista you can just type Favorites in the Windows Explorer address bar--I don't remember if this works in XP.) Or you can use one of the other methods that were mentioned in the replies. It might be easiest to use Import and Export (under the File menu) in Internet Explorer.

You do not need to screw with manually saving your favorites.
