How do I move my Favorites to my new computer. Both old and new are XP Pro. I have an external hard drive if that helps.

You could also copy your Favorites folder to a flash drive, then hook the flash drive to the new PC and then copy the folder over into your profile's folder under Documents & Settings.

I'd go with silentrascal's way myself. It's the quick and dirty solution.

Open My Computer>C:\Documents&Settings\(your user name)
Right click Favorites, send to external hard drive
Plug hard drive into new computer
Open external hard drive, right click and copy favorites folder
Open same folder as step one, paste over the existing Favorites folder


You could also try to use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (I believe it's in Start>Programs>Accessories, but I'm not sure, never used it)
