Favourites folder in XP ?
Hi all,
I have some friends currently learning to use their new computer which is running XP.
I tried to import a file of favourite websites from my WinME installation but looking through WinExplorer/C:/Windows, coudn't find any reference to favourites in the same way as 98/ME. I then ran a search for files and folders listing favourites which found nothing!
Could someone let me know where MS have hidden the favourites folder in XP so I can insert my file. I presume that maybe 2000 will be the same.
Thanks in anticipation.

You will find it in:
CDocuments and Settings\[Username]\Favorites.
You must copy the contents of the favorites folder not the folder itself. I believe it can be found in the same place on Windows 2000.
