I just got a new PC and want to import my IE favorties. I already copied
the files to the new PC. I can import them one at a time only.

Is there a way to import all of them at the same time?

Thanks. John

Hi,
Old machine... XP or Vista?
New machine... XP or Vista?

If you have the Favorites folders from the old machine available on the new
machine, click in the folder to set focus then Edit> Select all or Crtl+a.
Drag all selected Favorites into the new Favorites folders. You will be
doing this via Windows Explorer- not Internet Explorer.

Or, the conventional method...
If the old computer is still running and accessible, go to IE> File>
Import/export. Export Favorites to a file which will be named bookmark.htm.
Import that file into IE on the new computer.

You would have to first import the data into OE on the new computer. After
that, you could export the data to OL.

NB: You do NOT want to import the data into OL!

When you import, click on 'Favourites' (at the top of the list) rather than
individual folders.

The Import function will only import a single html file. It won't import a
favorites folder.
