Can I copy Favourites from one PC to another?

[FiestaRed]

I have a backup PC and I'd like to have the same "Favorites" as I have on my main PC.

Is it possible somehow to copy the ones I have on my main PC to my backup without finding all the sites and adding them to my list?

yup, for IE copy the contents of

c:\documents and settings\your username\favourites

(docs and settings is replaced by "users" on windows 7 and possibly vista but i cant remember lol)

for firefox you can do an export of the favs

On IE, click on <favourites>, then click the down arrow for the drop menu at the side of 'Add Favourites’, now click on 'Import and Export'.
You can then export all your favourites to a file, transfer that file to a new computer, and then do the same thing except you import them from the file you dragged over.
Hope this helps
