backup bookmarks

On the PC that has Netscape, Internet Explorer automatically loads the bookmarks. If you check under "Favorites", there should be a folder called "Imported Bookmarks".

If you want to convert the Netscape bookmarks to IE favorites, open IE, selectFile -> Import and Export, and you should see and option to import bookmarks.

If you want to install the favorites on another computer, you can export the favorites from one IE to a file, and then import the favorites from that file to another IE.

In IE5 and above, you can choose file and then import to import bookmarks from netscape into IE. If you don't have IE5, I beleive there's a utility you can find at www.ufaq.org to import bookmarks freely between IE and Netscape.

The other way would be you can open the bookmark.htm file found in your profile folder with IE. This file is just an HTML document and you can open each page and manually set the bookmark from there. A little tedious, but eventually it'll all ge tthere.

Good luck to you

Mark

In Netscape, Click on the bookmarks tab, and edit bookmarks. When the expanded list opens up, click on File, save as, and save it as a file called Netscapebookmarks.html or whatever you want to call it.

Open internet explorer. Go to favorites, organize favorites, and create a new folder. Close all dialogs, and go to file, import/export, next, then select import favorites. Click on the file, and browse to where you stored the Netscapebookmark.html file. Select a destination folder, ie Netscape, and there you go....

PS, you can skip the first step if you want to import ALL of your netscape bookmarks, simply by opening IE, and using the import export, find the bookmark.htm file in the Netscape, users, (name) folder.

PPS, this alsoworks in reverse.

By default netscape stores the bookmarks in an html file called bookmark.htm or bookmarks.htm. It is located:
c:\program files\netscape\communicator\users\where is the specific users folder. With this info you can write a little program to back them when ever you wished.
