Keeping favorites is pretty simple. When your at a web site you want to make a favorite, click the favorites button on IE task bar. Then click ADD over on the left pane. Click Ok in the popup windows that says " . That web site name now appears usually at the end. To alphabetize or arrainge the order of favorites, just click the organize button in the left pane. There will be a popup window that allows you to organize your list. In the right pane, you can click and hold on a name to move the order.

As far as moving that list to another computer, I have no clue. I haven't ever tried making a roaming profile that includes IE favorites and I'm not sure it can be done. Others maybe able to answer that for ya.

You can import and export them from one computer to another using File, Import and Export.

You can also copy them from c:\windows\favorites to another c:\windows\favorites and use them both.

If you are using newer versions of windows, the Favorites folder will be in a different location:

c:\Documents and Settings\loginname\favorites

etc.

But look for the Favorites folder and copy it's contents to the other computer's Favorites folder. You do not need to import or export.

I take that last sentence back. You MAY need to import/export if you are using different IE versions on the different computers.

Find the "favorites" folder and copy it to a floppy, then you can paste it to the "favorites" folder on whatever computer you are using. I've done it! Oh yea, I think the favorites is in C:\windows\favorites. Just right click and "send to A:\" Make sure the disk is empty first, Hope this helps!
