A question for people smarter than me

Is there a way to save your Favorites/bookmarks from IE and transfer them to another computer?

I just realized that I had a TON of important bookmarks and websites saved on Solo, and I don't have them on Shukaku. I'd rather not go to each website and save it all over again.

there 'tis a way.

File -> Import and Export -> Export favorites. You should be able to get a saveable file out of that.

You were distracted by your own genius.

You should use Firefox. :) It's safer/more customizable (and has tabs!) than IE and you and import all of your favorites from IE into Firefox when you transfer over so you don't lose anything or have to do an agonizing manual transfer. :D

^^ I have Firefox already. I use it for Gaia, but I don't use it all the time because my LJ layout doesn't work in it.

And the problem is more transferring my IE favorites from Solo (old laptop) to Shukaku (new laptop), than from two browsers on Shukaku.

C:\Documents and Settings\(your windows logon name here)\Favorites

They're all in there. It's a lot simpler than that import\export hoobajoo.
