| 1250515 | 2011-12-24 08:03:00 | bookmarks in IE you mean? | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 1250516 | 2011-12-24 08:07:00 | If it's firefox it's dead easy. It's got a function to do so. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1250517 | 2011-12-24 08:30:00 | tools export, tools import - something like that. Or you can find the bookmarks folder and copy that over. Either way pretty easy. |

| 1250518 | 2011-12-24 08:33:00 | Now for a real answer :D Saying things like its easy is pointless, the OP wouldn't be asking if they knew how -- come on people think when giving answers !!! One way: If In IE,open IE, go to File / import Export, Export to a file, Select Favorites - Follow through. Take Saved html file, put on USB drive, then on other PC do the same thing but Import. In FF - Bookmarks, Show all Bookmarks - Import and backup - ( two options) Backup or export Bookmarks as html -- Then same as above to USB drive, and the same again bu this time select Import. |

| 1250519 | 2011-12-24 08:45:00 | Well ok then, but your instructions are wrong for IE9 and without knowing what browser I could just be wasting my time... I figured mentioning Export / Import might be enough of a clue. For IE9 click the favourites button, At the top above the favourites is a drop down menu arrow next to the add to favourites button, select Import and export Export to a file, copy to other machine , repeat and Import |

I figured mentioning Export / Import might be enough of a clue. What a load of crap, the instructions are for IE9 ( and most other versions of IE as well) .I do it almost daily that way, Follow the pictures and you will see. There are other ways as well. heres the PROOF As I said "If In IE,open IE, go to File / import Export" 3460 Export to a file, Select Favorites - Follow through 3461 3462 3463 The next step you browse to a location to save the file, then transfer that to a another PC and repeat, but select import this time. To repeat, only give half instructions or saying its easy is a total waste of time. Side note: I have noticed the quality of helpful posts these days has dropped -- to many people assume others know what they mean -- If they did they wouldn't be asking. |

| 1250521 | 2011-12-24 09:58:00 | Oh BTW Dugimodo, before just going to a random site, and copy /paste instructions, the one you gave for IE 9 does'nt work. As per MS's help site: The way you do it in IE8 and earlier is: "Click the Favorites button, click the arrow next to the Add to Favorites button, and then click Import and Export". There is no arrow next to the add favorites button in IE9.The way I listed above works for all versions of at least IE6 and above. |

| 1250523 | 2011-12-24 10:18:00 | I love how some of these "techs" think that they know the correct answers :) :) | Zippity (58) | ||
