Hello Maluca!

You'll need about a minute, and a floppy disk.  Let's go step by step:

1) Insert a fresh floppy into your A:\ drive on the old computer.

2)  Open up IE.

3)  In the very top bar, select File.

4)  Under File, select Import and Export.  This will open the Import/Export wizard.

5)  Click Next, then select Export Favorites.

6)  Click on your Favorites folder on the following screen, then click Next.

7)  On the next screen select the Export to a File or Address button,
and browse to your A:\ drive.  Name the file "bookmark.htm", and save
it.

All done?  Good.  Now put the disk into your new computer.

1) Open up IE.

2)  In the very top bar, select File.

3)  Under File, select Import and Export.  This will open the Import/Export wizard.

4)  Click Next, then select Import Favorites.

5)  On the next screen select the Import From a File or Address
button, and browse to your A:\ drive.  Click on the "bookmark.htm"
file you saved there in the previous steps and click Next.

6)  In the next screen, click the Favorites folder to highlight it,
then click Next.

7)  On the next screen, click Finish.  When your file is imported,
you'll get a success message.

And that's it!

Hope this helps!
