    Hi,
    Is there a quick and easy way of copying all of the 'my favourites' on my computer (onto a memory stick on similar) so that I can put them onto another computer? I haven't quite figured out how to do it bar opening each individual one, copying the web address and opening it on my new one.
    Thanks in advance

    Browsers import/export option, or just sync them.

    If you have favorites in your start menu in XP - right click -> open -> you view them in a folder - you can copy to/from it.

    In Vista its part of your "user folder".

    My Favorites in XP is just like any of your other personal info folders. You can just copy and paste onto your memory stick, like any other folder. Very easy. . .
