Hi, I am using another laptop, and have a lot of favourites on my old laptop that I'd like to "copy and paste" onto this one, is it possible, or do I have to go through it manually?

Thanks.

    Assuming IE, as you say 'favourites', rather than 'bookmarks' - File>Import & Export>Export to a file

    If your running Vista (might be 7 as well) go to your user folder & copy the favourites folder.

    usb stick is good idea.

    Anyone seen a pink USB stick anywhere round here, I've lost my banking passwords and it took me 25 minutes to remember the name of this site. Yes of course USB is useful but encrypt it unless of course you cannot remember the password;)
