Updating system

[wickedtart]

Hi i am updating my pc to a new one and am wondering if anyone knows how i can save all my favourite websites without writing them down.  Any help would be grateful.  Thanks

If you use IE6 and have the sites saved in favorites go to this link and read activities 8 & 9.

The favorites file should fit on a floppy so make sure your disk is drive A:

For Firefox see this link and click on item 5.

Try rjhsoftware.com for a freeware item called "rjh extensions".  It allows you to save a directory list or file path to anywhere you choose.  (including the printer!!)  I've used it at home for years - simple and excellent.  Unfortunately, at work, my PC won't let me install anything! so I have to revert to the print screen key (which puts the current screen on the clipboard) and then paste into Wordpad, finally printing ar saving this elsewhere as a file.  Pathetic, but isn't it time Mr Gates gave us some of these facilities in his eXtremely Patronising operating system??

In IE6 goto >FILE>IMPORT AND EXPORT> using the wizard gives you the option to save your favourites to a file which can easily be put on a floppy .
