Hi

The problem is in the title. I need to reformat the harddrive of a computer
running XP to get rid of spyware that is wholly unresponsive to any other
treatment. I have many favorites that would take a long time to write out by
hand that I would like to save. Is there any way to create a folder
containing the Favorites (with account passwords) which could be copied to an
external hard drive before reformatting C: drive is initiated. I would be
most grateful for any response.
