    My hard drive was replaced and now I want to import my IE favorites to the IE on the hard drive. How to do?

    I tried to figure it out -- I thought it would be obvious but it didn't work. :confused:

    I clicked on "import" -- it asked for the file -- I went to where my favorites were save on my back-up drive.

    My favorites are super organized. There are several main folders and a number of sub-folders in each. In one main foler there are about 30 sub0folders. And many of the sub-folders have subfolders in them as well -- etc. etc.

    Help! :(

    Replace the respective information in the filepath, for instance, for me, it's C:\Documents and Settings\Louis\Favorites.

    Copy it from the old hard drive to the new one. My assumption is that you're running Windows XP.
