Is there a way to save your Internet Explorer settings or at least your favorites list?

Question

I need to transfer them to a different computer.

Answer 1

Yes you can save your Favorites list by clicking on File --> Import and Export.
It will ask you what format you want to save your Favorites listing.

Answer 2

You can do this in two ways:

1. On Windows XP, you have File and Settings Transfer wizard. Its available under Accessories -> Sysetm Tools. It can bring data from older computers running Operating Systems like Win 98 to 2000 to XP. Follow on screen instructions and its easy.
OR
2. In Documents and Settings folder in C: Drive (normally), under your login, you will find Favorites folder. Simply take a backup of this folder. Copy them across to diff computer in same path: documents and settings\

Answer 3

Yes.

In Internet Explorer:
"File" -> "Import and export" -> "Export Favourites"

This will export your favourites to a .HTML file, which is a lot easier to manage than a folder full of favourites.

Just copy this .HTML file to the other computer, and then on THAT computer's Internet Explorer:
"File" -> "Import and export" -> "Import Favourites"

Another neat thing is that you can use this "Import and export" feature to copy your Internet Explorer favourites into the (better) Mozilla FireFox browser. :)

Happy camping!

Answer 4

Your favorites or "bookmarks" are saved automatically to a folder. (I'm not sure of the exact one rigt now, but it is in your "documents and settings" folder under your user name).
