Tried that, too. I've got two hard drives here, with the second one
used for backup storage. I've dragged the files back and forth, as
well as having just installed FireFox, which will only import
whatever is showing in IE at the time. The favorites already show
up in the Windows "favorites" file. IE just isn't paying any
attention to them.

computer,

just went

the new

bookmarks are,

bookmarks,
| then go to the Windows folder under C drive and right click on
Favorites and
| hit paste.
