How do I recover IE7 bookmarks?

Question

I have a dual boot with 2 seperate harddrives and the primary HDD I use is corrupted. I can log into XP with my alternate HDD and XP installation(created for just this reason) but I need to access my IE7 bookmarks. I have already come to the conclusion that I will need to reformat my other hard drive but before I do I would like to recover as much info off of it as I can. What file is the bookmarks stored on and once I find it how can I restore them to my browser. Thanx for your help

Answer 1

hmm. I know all other versions of internet explorer under windows use a folder called "Favorites" that is located in one of several places on a PC's hard drive. Try these locations:

1. C:\Documents and Settings\ [username] \Favorites

2. C:\Windows\ [username] \Favorites

3. C:\Windows\Profiles\ [username] \Favorites

4. C:\Windows\Favorites

...and of course please remember that [username] means that if you had users set up you use the username of the account in question that you are trying to get the favorites from, otherwise look for "default" or something like that as a username.

Answer 2

Just copy your Favourites folder located in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Favourites

Answer 3

If you have more than one user on the pc just search Favorites.
