Simply launch IE and click on File > Import and Export Wizard, then Export your
Favorites to a folder or a floppy disc. It will generate a small file called
Bookmark.htm. This file can then be Imported back into the system using the same
Wizard on your new system and your Favorites will be recreated.

You should do the same routine with the cookies, if you access any websites that
required a signup.

drive dies?  In AOL, there was a save/replace option and it was very simple,
however, I haven't been able to find a way to do it with IE6.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks
