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

Having never really looked at ME extensively, it's in one of three places:
(you may need to unhide hidden files first)

c:\windows\favorites
c:\windows\profiles\%username%\favorites
c:\documents and settings\%username%\favorites

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.
