You can do that in IE under the file menu, import-export then follow directions.Quote:

oh, and try a search, you can search in hidden and system files from the advanced search options
In WinME right click on the start button and go to Explorer and click and a new window will pop up which should be (highlighted that is) the C:\Windows\StartUp folder.
Scroll up a little on the left side and you will see the folder called Favorites.
The exact locatation is C:\windows\favorites.
When there click on Edit on the menu bar and choose Select All, then copy to floppy or whatever.
Now, in order to transfer/copy them to another pc we need to know the OS, since 2k/xp will have different locations.
ok well i was going to transfer them to 2k but might eventually try XP thinking about retiring one of my 98 machimes too.Quote:
