Hello everybody!

I've got loads of sites i've bookmarked on Internet Explorer. I want to save those links. Can it be done? Is there any way i can export them to a text file or something like that?
 
Yes this can be done. Go to the Add Favourites button (IE7) & click on Import/Export. You can then export your favourites to another browser or file. The file format is HTM, so will open in any browser.
 
Thats is assuming you have IE7. if you have IE6, just go to file Import/Export, and follow the prompts.

For Future Reference this is in no way related to Hardware, and as such you would be better off posting this in either the forum779 or forum608, which would be a bit more appropriate for this.

----------------------------------
Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
 
I didn't put the IE6 route, as I couldn't remember what it was . Thanks to vacunita for giving the IE6 route.
 
you can also search for - Favorites folder on the c: drive or thru explorer. start>run>explorer , not the browser(the folder will have a star next to it. default location is C:\Documents and Settings\User\Favorites) and just drag and drop the folder onto a Flash drive or other media.
 
That's one of the few things I was able to recover quickly from my botched Motherboard swap and non-clean windows reload.

Hit Ctrl+Windows key (shortcut to opening Windows explorer) then I hunted down my favorites hilighted the folders and actually dragged them into the favorites pane of the browser window.
