Want to Import IE 6 Favorites into IE 7 1

[JohnBates]

Hello browser experts,

I upgraded from IE6 to IE7 (same computer). I want to import my IE 6 favorite sites into IE 7 but I cannot find the bookmarks file. I searched entire drive for bookmark.htm but nothing found. Is it a hidden file?

Thanks very much. John

bookmark.htm would only have been created if you previously exported your bookmarks, so you will probably never find it. However, it shouldn't be needed in a normal upgrade; your Favorites should stay in place without any special actions on your part.

What operating system are you using? And if you use Windows Explorer (not internet explorer) to navigate your user profile, do you see a Favorites folder at the same level as your documents folder?

Thanks, smah. Your reply prompted me to search more.

I use XP Pro.

I did find the IE 6 Favorites at \Docs and Settings\John\Favorites\Links

I have them in place for IE 7 now. I miss 1 feature that IE 6 had which made it easier to access the Favorites - on the right side there was a > that you could simply expand to see your Favorites. just 1 more clink to do the same in IE 7.

Thanks for your help. John - Memphis TN USA
