Default Importing favourites

Having reinstalled XP Pro, all my software and Outlook addresses successfully
I am left with importing my Favourites. I have the info on DVD and attempted
to import the data but I can't figure out how to make this happen. Help
please anyone?

Default Re: Importing favourites

Assuming you saved them via IE File > Import and Export > Export Favorites,
copy the back-up to your hard-drive (suggest to Desktop, for convenience),
remove the Read Only attribute it will most likely have, and then use File >
Import and Export > Import Favourites to import it, pointing the wizard to
the file on Desktop.

Default Re: Importing favourites

If you didn't Export them, then you cannot Import them.
In that case, copy the contents of the old Favorites folder to the new
Favorites folder.
