Well, if you can open your browser, go to File, import and export, a wizard
runs, select export favorites, then a destination, such as your external
drive. To get them back follow the same process, but select import.

Or you can use windows explorer and copy the favorites folder from inside
your profile example: c:\documents and settings\USER NAME\favorites
