Bit of a PC question

[Dan Salter]

Ok i have a query....Im starting Uni soon and moving house...I will be using my mothers PC...but...i have a huge kind of database of conservation and related websites stored and filed in my FAVOURITES folder on this pc...
Can these be saved somehow and transfered on a disc or no matter what im going to lose them and have to start the favourites collection again on the new pc?

Dan, just copy the appropriate directory to a disk, cd, pen drive etc and place on your other pc/laptop. You must also have the application used to access the data installed on the other machine.

File > Import/Export > Export Favorites > <Wizard> save as an html (webpage) file, Dan.

You can simply email it as an attachment to your Hotmail account (and/or CD, USB drive, whatever) then use it as your homepage wherever you access the 'net from. All your links on one page - not bad, eh?

Doesn't matter what browser or even Operating System you use, a webpage is just html ...

Hi Dan

Assuming you are running Windows XP and using Microsoft Internet explorer on both PC's you can copy the contents of the favorites folder onto a cd etc and transfer to the corresponding file on your other pc as refered to by John.

The tricky bit can be finding the right file.

Open up my documents and click on folders. You will see the directory structure on the left.Click on C:\ then documents and settings, then favourites. These are the files you need to copy.

If there is more than one user on the existing pc the route will be slightly different for example:-

C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\Favorites

Good Luck
