Importing Bookmarks from Windows 98
I recently purchased a new Compaq Presario that has Windows XP installed on
it. My old Compaq Presario had Windows 98 on it. I'm wanting to know how I can import my bookmarks (favorites) from the old computer to the new one. Or is that NOT possible? Thanks!

On the old machine, open IE and go to File-Import and Export-Export Favorites. Save the file to a floppy. On the new machine, do the reverse!

files that were on 98. Who knows!?!?!

Hi,
No reason it should not work. Just make sure you export as a .htm file. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Little bit 77" wrote in message ...

It should, but I've seen people accidentally change it before.
