The favorites used to be kept in a folder, and the individual files could be moved to where you wanted them (ie to a floppy, from there to another machine; or transferred to another machine via a network connection)
Haven't tried that yet with XP

Easy stuffs. Go to the C: drive, locate documents and settings, locate the user name/profile that your using, then locate the favorites folder. Copy to flash drive, then copy to the new puter....

Microsoft also has a transfer wizard, I think it is included with XP.
I can locate it if you need it.

No. Everyone seems to say that it is worse than drinking poison. I dislike Windows so much if I was just a little less lazy I would switch to a Mac and be done with it. But I am using a work provided D520 Latitude and it seems to work fine so being a creature of habit I am just thinking of getting the same thing since I will be losing this one soon.

Simple
File Import - Export Export favorites Select the top level folder (favorites) Save as ... copy to USB drive, or whatever Import on the other computer. This is also good for general backup purposes.
