IE favorites are just shortcut files you can copy to disk.

Just use XP's transfer wizard.

I want to try XP transfer wizard but the option "home or small office network" was grey out. I cannot select the option. I have the two computers connected through a D-Link home router. Any idea why I cannot select the option to transfer via the network?

If I have to use direct cable, what cable should I use to connect the two computers?
