I have my new hard drive setup but I don't have all my IE bookmarks. What files and where are they to copy them over?

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.NEWGARAGE\Favorites, replacing administrator.newgarage with the name you are currently logged in with and the name of your computer.

What version of windows do you have? If XP, then Skline is right, its in your profile directory which is in Documents and Settings.

Both are XP? And, is the old hard drive from this laptop? So all you did was put in a larger hard drive in the laptop? If yes yes and yes, then the EASY way, would be to put the old hard drive back in, and then copy the "favorites" from your profile, and email them to yourself. Then put in the new hard drive, and then get that email with your favorites and put it in the same exact place on the new drive. Like Skline said, its C:\documents and settings\"your user name"\Favorites All you have to do is go into your profile and add them old favorites, it will prompt you that they already exist and if you want to overwrite them, just say yes. |

yeah, thats what I am using for most of the car stuff but I do have a Dell laptop that I use at work and home. Ususally I have most of the bookmarks on the Dell cuz some sites don't work too well with the Mac. I can't use their online catalogs or view stuff.

The import function will only work if a compatible browser is installed on the same hard drive.

There is a bad file on the old hard drive so I can't just fire it up in the laptop. I did hook it up onthe desktop Dell and then imported the file to the laptop. Can't import as IE import wizard says the file isn't compatable. effin windoze.....is their stupid file.
Now what??? What am I doing wrong?? |

Ok, then you are just about set... IE cannot import IE favorites AFAIK. Just copy the favorites to your Desktop machine, and then email them to yourself. Get the laptop online and then download them to the laptop's desktop. Right click on them and select copy, then go into your profile directory C:\documents and settings\"username" and you will see "favorites" already in there. Choose a blank area in there, then right click, and choose paste. It will prompt you that they already exist, and ask if you want to overwrite them, say yes. From there you should be good to go. |
