ONCE A FAVORITE, ALWAYS A FAVORITE

Many people wonder how to copy their Favorites to a second PC. Actually, it's more straightforward than you might think. Just use a floppy disk to copy the files from one Favorites folder to the other.

Open an Explorer window and display the contents of the first system's Windows\Favorites folder. Hold down Ctrl as you click on each favorite you want to copy to the second system; then, with a blank, formatted disk in your floppy drive, right-click the selection and select Send To, 3 1/2 Floppy (A).

Now just pop the disk in the second computer and copy its files to that system's Windows\Favorites folder. Open an Explorer window and display the contents of the disk. Open a second Explorer window and open the Windows\Favorites folder. Select all of the items in the floppy drive window, right-click and drag the selection into the Favorites window, let go, and select Copy Here. Instant Favorites folder!
