    Default Copying my Favorites

    I have a new old laptop that I would like to reflect the same IE favorites as my main rig. Is there a way I can copy the folder from the main rig and paste it in the laptop?

    EDIT: They're both running XP

    Yep:

    Select File -> Import and Export. This will start the "Import and Export" wizard.
    Select Export and the click on "next."
    Select Favorites and click on "next."
    In the next window you can accept the default Save Directory or choose a new one. I suggest you select "Desktop" so you can easily find the file again. Click on "next."
    Finally, click on "finish" and your Favorites will be saved to disk.

    Alternatively,

    Favorites are stored on drive C:\Documents and Settings\'your user name'. Just drag the 'favorites' folder to another drive, floppy, or USB jump drive. Then you can copy the folder back into the same location if anything goes awry.
