You should be able to copy your favorites folder containing all of your favs.

On my system it is C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Favorites

If yours is different try using Start Search and look for Favorites

Yep been and found that, thanks but now thinking if there is anything else i need to back up, apart from that and all my music :eek:

f3lix

Yep, for IE
Open your Browser and click on file
then import and export, wizard will open
choose to export
choose location and that should be it.

It's pretty much the same for Firefox I think.

Then you can burn folder to disc or copy to dongle!

Maybe worth having a look at Start > Accessories > System Tools > Files and Settings Transfer Wizard

If you use Outlook Express you should back up or export your messages etc.

Yes, but (according to this page) it will work as a way of backing-up settings and files, so if they wipe the machine or change settings, you can put it back.

Google for Files and Settings Transfer Wizard for more information

If you're on XP log in as another administrator and burn the entire c:\documents and settings\yourusername to a DVD or CD if it'll fit.

Everything you've got 'should' be in there so you don't miss anything
