Re: Importing Firefox Bookmarks from Another Machine

If anybody cares, if you're leaving machine OLD and want your Firefox
bookmarks on machine NEW, and your login name is USER

the bookmarks are in directory folder
C:/Documents and Settings/USER/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*.default

where * will be some hash word, different on the two machines.

and in that folder there is
bookmarks.html

With Firefox closed on both machines, simply copy the file from

Hi Glee

I appreciate you helping me!!!

Explorer.exe was not running under processing in task manager. I then did what you suggested, "click File>Run, type explorer.exe and click OK". For a split second something appeared, to quick to see, but it returned to the blank desktop.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks again for your help.

DG

At the blank desktop, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up Task Manager.
Under Processes, is explorer.exe listed?

If not, click File>Run, type explorer.exe and click OK.

If it is running, kill it and then use File>Run to start explorer.exe.

Does that allow the taskbar, Start button, and menu to load?

Hi Glee

I looked in the Registry locations below and did not find the entries
(explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe) that you mentioned.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File
Execution
Options\explorer.exe

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File
Execution
Options\iexplorer.exe


I am running XP not NT does that make a difference?

The symptoms all sound like the ones I have. I was excited to see that 3
other people found the entries and deleted them and their systems were
repaired.

Looks like I have the super problem :((

I am grateful for any other suggestions that you may have!! Can I provide
you any additional information that may help you help me?

Thanks
DG

Open regedit and delete these two keys, if found:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution
Options\explorer.exe

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution
Options\iexplorer.exe

one machine to the other in the respective directories, overwriting the
bookmarks in the NEW machine. The new ones of course are gone then,
unless you copy them somewhere else first.

You could also use an online service (comes as a FF extension) like Foxmarks or Google Browser Sync.
