Re: Backing up Favorites

Thanks for that addit. bit of info - I delete all cookies as I leave I.E as
a rule - it was just that I wondered if it made any difference when it came
to 'importing' favourites.
I assume it does not.

I'd say its useful to backup some of your cookies, mostly from an "easier
to
get back to what you are doing" stance.
But its not entirely necessary unless you have forgotten any passwords
recently or have sites that use cookies to save layouts (bookmarks and
some
forums)

Its up to you really, cookies can be re-created easily by going to the
sites
you visit, but copy them if you want to save time logging in and setting
up
stuff for sites again (such as layout on forums or whatever)

Hello Frank
I often wonder whether I should add the Cookies to the export of
favourites?
