It should be in C:\Documents and Settings\<your_name> (using WinXP).

Otherwise go to IE. Open the Favorites sidebar.

Select all CTRL+C. Goto the location of choice CTRL+V.

U.S. spelling. :D

hey!!

thanks for the replies guys.
turns out that it didn't find it in the search coz it was spelt the u.s way.
and i was looking in the wrong folder. i was looking in each user's MY DOCUMENTS. not DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS. oh well :)

problem solved now. thanks for the help.

cheers!!

lots

Just for future information: you can also export the favorites from IE...

Handy if you want to migrate to a different browser like firefox or mozilla...
