Hi Jessi
In Win2K, favorites are (by default) in the folders
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Favorites where
"user name" would be the name of each user with a user
account on the computer. For example, your favorites
might be in C:\Documents and Settings\Jessi\Favorites.
There might also be favorites in the folders
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Favorites and
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Favorites.
I would guess that favorites in WinXP Pro would be
in similar folders. I often copy and paste my
favorites folder to another drive as a backup.
Copying the favorites from one drive (or system) to
the proper place on another drive or system works
fine...although the sort order for the favorites
might be lost.
Regards,
Bill
