Greetings,

I have two pcs, these hold "my favourites" and I want to merge and have
them the same on *both* machines.  One machine is WindowsME the other
Windows98SE.

Firstly, having two different o/s is that likely to cause me any problems?

Secondly, please can somebody give me step-by-step instructions how to
merge the favourites and, as some are likely to be the same sites on both
machines but not necessarily exactly the same names, what will happen?
What happens with the few that are both the same site and have the same
name?

Some considerable time ago, I found something about doing this, it was not
made clear in the message where the person was starting from, I paste in
the relevant text below, so could somebody please come back and advise?

saving favourites to a file
From: Bob Marchand <[log in to unmask]>

To get an alphabetical list of your favourites, go to your favourites, and
while in the list, right click on the list and then press the letter b to
sort by name.  This will sort it immediately. Exit the favourites list.  To
save it as a file, use alt f for file, then I for import and export. This
will bring up the wizard.  Press  the next button and your first choice
will be to import favourites, then export them. Arrow down to export, then
tab to next and hit enter. The next choice is which favourite folders to
export and if you want all of them, hit enter on the next button. The next
screen lets you export to an application or to a file.  Choose file, type
in the name of the file preceded with a colon if you want it on a floppy,
and tab to the next button, then to the finish button and you are done.

Good Luck
Bob Marchand
