    restore Favorites


    Dear Forum,
    I had my Vista computer's hard drive crash! Fortunately I have a full back up of my data. Purchases new computer with Windows 7 64 bit O/S.
    A couple of data transfer issues:
    How do I transfer my favourites from backup to the Explorer 9 favourites?
    How do I transfer my old e-mail messages to a new e-mail programme.
    Thanks,
    Buzz

    in your user folder (the one you would navigate to through C:, so C, users etc. etc.) there should be a several folders (about 10) and one of them will be favourites. If you were using IE, then just copy and paste them across.

    Internet Explorer - Import and Export Favorites

    The emails should have been stored on the server, so just logging in should download them all again.
    (i'm not trying to be vague on purpose, i just dont have a computer infront of me at the moment )

    good luck, always happy to help :)
    as am now at a computer, to get to the favourites folder it should be:
    C > Users > *Your name* > Favourites
