Export Favourites

[link to this post]

I'd like to export my list of favourite websites (IE8) to two other computers ( IE11) running Win7 and Win8 respectively. Ideally I'd like to have them stored on a flash drive too. Is there a way to do this?

Alternatively, you could try Xmarks. This will automatically keep your favourites in sync. I use Xmarks with Firefox and could not manage without it.

Which OS is running IE8? Sounds lile XP else you'd be running IE11.

If XP, copy the contents of:
\Documents and Settings\you\Favorites
to:
\Users\you\Favorites
on W7 & 8.

Thanks for the helpful replies. It's my work laptop running Win7 Professional with IE8. I'll ask if I can upgrade to 11 - I have no control over updates due to admin rights being down to our network manager.
