Cheers lads!

It's kind of as before....

Depending on which version you are running, there will be a folder buried somewhere in your old XP setup called favourites (somewhere in your personal profile) and you just need to copy it over to the new location which, because of Microshite, will be a different path

Also, in light of the very recent news, I would suggest a change from IE to Firefox, I'm just doing it now... .....

EDIT - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/default.stm

I'm now on Firefox, wish I'd changed months ago....

XP

c drive
documents and settings
yourname
favourites

copy to contents to memory stick

Vista

C drive
users
yourname
favourites

dump them in there.

job done.

then load firefox and import it all into that at IE is crap.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.
