Morning all
Tried moving just one Favourites folder over to my new Win7 computer but all it's contents were displayed, not just the folder. By moving just one folder I was 'testing the water' so to speak, did not want to loose my XP Favourites. I still want to retain my XP Fav's in my old computer.

Put your XP Favorites onto a flash drive then import them to Internet Explorer.

Your Favorites folder is located in C:/ Users / Your User name / Favorites

Copy the Favorites folder to a flash drive.

Then use the Import option to grab the favorites off the flash drive.

The path for w7 favorites is: C:\Users\your username\Favorites if your favorites are on the C:\ drive, substitute your drive letter if different.
