See here: [[Importing Internet Explorer Favorites from another computer]]

Hi Grylida, I did as you said but still ended up witha Mozilla shortcut to Windows Media Player in the selected folder and nothing else. I am trying to have my Favourites all set to install on my new computer in a couple of weeks, hopefully this problem can be sorted before I take delivery.

Hi, I have just had another try, this time it worked, I spotted where I went wrong on my first attempt. Thank you for your help. Aviemore.
