Michael1406 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I'm not quite sure that I fully understand. Did you completely wipe the drive and re-installl Windows? Check what is in C:\Documents and Settings\[username here]\Favorites That's the IE favourites folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael1406 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Well if you wiped your hard drive, then the favourites are gone. If you backed them up, then put them in the Favourites folder, then import them in Firefox. Firefox > Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks > File > Import Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
