How can I replace the old favorites with new favorites in IE7?

MetalMan228 · 23 Jan 2013

Hi everyone, I use Firefox

as my default browser, and over time my favorites have changed some. My question is, can i replace the old favorites in IE7 with the current ones I have on Firefox? I tried importing them thinking they would overwrite the old ones, but it did not seem to work. So, if anyone can refer me to a tutorial, or can help me figure this out, it would be greatly appreciated! :)

Hello Rob,

If you don't want any of the favorites in IE7, then you could just delete them in the "C:\Users\(user-name)\Favorites" folder, then use the tutorial below to import your bookmarks from Firefox into IE7.

Hope this helps, :)

Ok Brink, do you mean to actually delete the whole favorites folder, not the contents IN the folder? See my screenshot, the one highlighted in blue. Then just reimport them as if i had a new PC and have never done it before? (sorry I so tupid

) Thanks!!

Sorry, yes only the contents in your "Favorites" folder, and not the folder itself. :)
