Exporting Favorites
Copy the Favorites folder to a disk/CD, then copy it from the disk/CD to
your new computer. Shortcuts to Web sites will be okay; shortcuts to files will not work unless the path is exactly the same. -- Suzanne S.

Exporting Favorites
Select the folder and either:
1. Right-click and choose Copy, then select the drive you want to copy to, right-click, and choose Paste; or 2. Drag the folder to the drive you want to copy to (Windows automatically copies rather than moves when you drag files between drives). -- Suzanne S.

Exporting Favorites
Alright Suzanne...please excuse my stupidity. I have 26 folders in my
"Favorites" option. In those folders are various links to different websites. Instead of copying/pasting each folder to a drive how can I do all this at once? "Suzanne S.

Exporting Favorites
Okay...As I'm right-clicking on the Favorites folder the only options I'm
getting is "Standard Buttons", "Address Bar", "Links", "Lock the Toolbars", and "Customize." There is no "Copy" option. "Suzanne S.

Exporting Favorites
Where are you clicking on the Favorites folder? You should be doing this in
Windows Explorer. Alternatively, you can just drag the folder to a removable drive. And note that Ctrl+C works there, too. -- Suzanne S.
