That depends on the browser. In Firefox and IE you can go into bookmark organizer and "save a backup". IE will make a website (or something like that) while Firefox will make a Jason file.

When you have freshed your computer you go to bookmark organizer and load the file for your browser.

With Google Chrome you just synchronize your bookmarks with your g-mail user.

Go into your user profile (Documents and settings\username) and copy the whole Favorites folder to a thumb drive.

The organizer is in;
File > Import & export > Choose export to file.
Then you can export your Rss feeds, bookmarks (favorites) and settings.

Or you can do as glc said :P
