I followed your instructions and I tried to save in a CD (F:). It could not
save there for some reason, I guess my computer has problems with the CD
Drive? I them saved

Error {6} couldn´t create new INI file \\?\WUTemp\Favorites\MSN.com.url
Scared...

You've apparently succeeded in scaring Marcio who is now still
convinced he's got to find and transfer files on his computer.
You really want to see the poor man posting about how he lost all his
bookmarks? Has WFBism sunk to a new misanthropic low? Why don't you just
stick to pushing Vista?
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

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

If you are running XP, it should be C:\ Documents and
Settings\username\Favorites. For Vista, it's C:\Users\username\Favorites.

You do not need to screw with manually saving your favorites. Just get
any bookmark synchronizer like the freeware Foxmarks
(http://download.foxmarks.com/download/all) and your Favorites are
automatically sync'ed among all your devices, be it a new computer or
your laptop. They're also safely

Yes, if you aren't careful you could overwrite your bookmarks. But
they're also stored locally, so you could recover them by all the
usual methods. e.g. from another one of your computers, or from a
backup.
I have read some sad sad bookmark stories. Poof, allgone!

So, what's your point? That everyone should eschew bookmark
synchronization because something bad _might_ happen? If so, how do
_you_ handle this task so that all risk is eliminated?

The fastest way is to go to your Internet Browser if it is IE, go to
File-Import/export-Next-select Export and pop in a writable CD. Have did that
for over 12 yrs throughout computers. Online syncing is excellent but i lost
mine once but i created a backup externally. Back 'em up and then dig
And for you Firefox (and Thunderbird) users, MozBackup is a very easy
backup/restore utility. I use it to sync with my laptop (does not only
bookmarks, but your Bookmark Toolbar, saved logon passwords, etc.)

Favorites isn't a file, it's a folder. Look for it under your user folder
If you are running XP the files are found under C:\ Documents and
Settings\username\Favorites. Copy the folder to a USB thumb drive or whatever
media suits your fancy. Next (no matter what Windows OS you are running) open
IE and use keystrokes ALT F then I and follow the prompts to import the
