Question

How can I take back up of my favorites websites saved in Internet Explorer?

Answer 1

In Internet Explorer under File is an an option called Import and Export. It will export all your Fav's to a file.  You can periodically update the file in the same manner.   This file can then be imported to  IE or most any browser if you have to reinstall.

Answer 2

Easier than exporting is to simply copy the faves folder from the original computer to a disc (or jump drive) and use that to overwrite the favorites folder on the new computer.  Your favorites folder in XP should be located at:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Favorites

and in Vista it is at:

C:\Users\username\Favorites

If by some odd chance your Favorites are not there, use the PC's search (searchword: Favorites) and find the folder that way.

Answer 3

Email them to yourself.  I have a folder called keepers where I store different sites and other stuff I don't want to lose if I have to format my harddrive.

Answer 4

gud luck
