Depends on your browser, what are you using?

i know that if you was using IE you could copy your favourites folder, put it onto a usb device, and then copy it over the default one on your new pc, i dont know if that is the same for any other browsers though.

Internet Explorer: copy all files and folders from:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Favorites

Firefox copy the bookmarks.html file from:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Randomlettersdigits.default\bookmarks.html

If you aren't tech savvy you can just export them from your browser and import them on the new PC.

importing and exporting sound harder than, the way you have just shown lol

IE: File > Import and Export. Follow the prompt to export favourites

Firefox: Bookmarks > Organise Bookmarks... > File > Export

Both very easy.

ohh sorry i have neevr done the importing thign before, sounds easier to just do the other way(probably cause its the only way i know) but its whatever the OP finds easiest at the end of the day

no you just have to export everything and set the target to be the usb drive. Then plug the usb drive into the new PC and import them.
