Typically, a saved web address is 8.00 kb, so depending on how many you have, you can save them to multiple floppies or a cdrw. They can be found in your Windows/Favorites folder.

If you are using IE, then your favorites are contained in a folder on your HD. Location depends on OS, if you are using Win9X then it should be in your windows folder, if you are using Win2K/XP it would be in the "Documents and Settings" folder for your username. I simply WinRAR or WinZIP the folder and move it.
For Netscape, I think you go to File...Export to export your favorites. |

Hi Robert
Depends on which OS you are using, if XP then it will be on the drive where your OS is lets say its C. Look in the documents and settings folder then pick the user, a drop down list should appear and favorites should be one of them. Copy to disc in windows explorer. On win 98 i think it is in the windows folder under its own folder name as favorites. |

Easier way... In IE, go FILE-IMPORT/EXPORT then choose favorites. It will export to one small HTML file which can be imported again later.

Same deal with outlook/express.... File- Import/export. I usually select export to file, then Comma Seperated value (windows) I do that for each folder than restore upon a new system.
