Saving Favorites?

computernewbie · Jun-26-2006

So this may be a really stupid question but how do I go about saving my favorites? I have tried and then everytime I click on the star there is nothing in there?

Favourites is just a folder on your machine. In Windows XP it's probably in c:\documents and settings\-username-\Favourites, replace "-username-" with the name you used to log into Windows. Copy that directory and its subdirectories off somewhere, and it's been saved.

did u manage to save a site to your favourites list?

I think what he wants is a backup of his favourites. Just a copy of teh folder Alan mentioned is enough, so if you;re going to do a clean installation just paste the backed up folder to the same directory again.
