Hi

I have W7 x64 and IE9 Browser, because I had some file problems I formatted and reinstalled the OS, then I remembered that I had not exported my IE favorites to a safe drive so now I cannot use the Import function in IE9.

However I do have a Clone/Copy of the original install, how do I copy the favs from that copy into my current install . That is, what folders and files do I copy from and to.

Thanks

Daniel
