N3 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 How do I make a hard copy of my IE favorites folder? Quote
FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted March 10, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted March 10, 2015 Open Internet Explorer. On the File menu, click Import and Export, and then click Next. Click Export Favorites and then click Next. Click Favorites and then click Next. Type the name of the file that you want to export the favorites to.

FPCH Admin allheart55 Cindy E Posted March 11, 2015 FPCH Admin Posted March 11, 2015 It comes in handy to be able to save your Favorites. This will work well for you Short, when you get your new computer. You can export your favorites from your old computer to a flash drive and then import them to your new computer. 1 Quote ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~
