dont know with your browser but if it is different you might have an 'import favourites 'option.
Im on opera and save mine as an html occassionally then write to cd. In mozilla and opera there is a folder where the preferences are kept which is in C:/documents and settings/yourname/application data/name of browser you can just save the whole folder.

I use explorer too. I can find my favourites by the following route

Open my computer
C drive (where windows is installed)
documents and settings
Tony (thats me by the way)
and my favourites is aa big yellow star
I opened it and there they are
I think you just then drag and copy into your favourites, in fact i have just done it

Their browser is rubbish - i remember using it a while back.

You can connect to AOL, then fire up internet explorer separately and it should still work, and should have your favourites as before, i would have thought.

You might want to get the new internet explorer 7 if your system is up-tp-date enough, as it has nifty tabs that make things easier, although i think Bill Gates did just steal this idea from somewhere else...
