I am using aol 9.0 and would like to transfer/convert my aol
bookmarks/favorites to MS internet explorerer.  AOL offers me the
option to import IE favorites, but not the export option.

Mousebks,
  
According to AOL's Live Help people it is not possible to export AOL 9
favourites to MS Explorer. Saying that, a program called ePRESERVER
will allow you to quickly and easily copy your AOL e-mail, address
book *and* favorites to Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. It costs
$24.95, (there is no demo available) but 'Connected Software' offers
an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee, and online support.
