Re: Importing favorites from desktop to laptop

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I copied all favorites on PC , pasted them to a new folder I created in c
drive called Favorites, and emailed them to myself.
Mail arrived on laptop with copied favorites (minus several that outlook
express deleted as unsafe).
I could not copy the listings in the email. I was able to copy a list of
"shortcuts to" each favorite web site. I then tried pasting into a new file
I called favorites in my documents on c drive. Nothing appeared, i.e., I
guess I failed to copy from the email. However I tried same several times.
So, I,m stuck.

Thanks for your generous and promt help. I really appreciate it. If you have
further instructions or clarifications let me know please
