    Putting my favorites back onto computer after system recovery
    I put all of my favorites onto a cd disk before doing a system recovery. How do I put them back on to my computer and can they be put back all at once or do I have to put them back on one at a time?
    I'm using a HP Pavilion Slimline computer and running windows Vista. Also using Internet Explorer.

    What do you mean by favorites? Favorites like... on your IE, such as bookmarks?

    Yes I mean my bookmarks. I copied them on to a cd by highlighting the favorites folder then clicking on the burn button

    Ok, Then what you need to do is copy the contents of the folder on the disk back to your new Favorties folder on your hard drive (should have use the Import/Export option). Basically reverse the process. You don't want to copy the folder (if there is one on the disk), otherwise you will have everything in a subforlder named Favorites. You want to copy the contents.
