Backing up Favorites / Bookmarks

Question:

Make sure you have a copy of your favorites from Internet Explorer.

Favorites, known as bookmarks in Netscape Navigator, are a convenient way to organize and link to Web pages that you visit frequently.

If you use Internet Explorer on several computers, you can easily share favorite items among computers by importing them. Also, if you use both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, you can keep your favorites and bookmarks up-to-date with each other by importing them between programs.

To import bookmarks or favorites, on the File menu, click Import and Export.
To export favorites to bookmarks or favorites on the same or another computer, on the File menu, click Import and Export.
Notes

Exported favorites are saved as regular HTML files, so either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator can import them. You can export a selected folder in your Favorites list, or all of your favorites.

The exported favorites file is fairly small, so if you want to share the favorite items with other people, you can copy it to a floppy disk or folder on a network, or attach it to an e-mail message.
