Favourites from PC to Laptop?

lancs-lady_2

Hi we have just got a new laptop and all our favourites are on our pc. Is there an easy way to transfer them from our pc to our laptop please? They are on IE and Firefox.

Thanks

What versions of windows are each pc running?

mozbackup is good for mozilla programmes (Firefox and Thunderbird)

They are both Vista.

chek your "C:/users/<username>/" folder for one called "Favourites" that's where IE store the bookmarks/favourites you can copy paste the folder to another machine and IE will have all the same bookmarks.

also some info here:

Figment

The latest version of Firefox has a synch feature which (as long as both machines have internet access) will do exactly what you want.

(I cannot confirm whether synch works on Vista, but it ought to)

To add to Figment's post above, here's how to sync Firefox.

Agreed, but you may find the folder called "Favorites" (American spelling) ....

Alternatively, paste the following into the Explorer address bar.

%UserProfile%\Favorites

And Firefox goto bookmarks --> show all bookmarks --> then export/backup save to disk then copy that to the lappy and do the above except change export/backup to import

IE, file, export, export to a file, favorites

on new laptop, create the windows cd if it didn't come with one, and do a system image backup, and recovery disc, if you want to prepare for a time when you may need them.
