Transfering Favorites to new computer?

I know this can be done, but I've never tried it.  I use Outlook 2003 (not Outlook Express), and I need to transfer my Favorites to my 2nd computer.  How do I do that?

I don't use Outlook, so I'm unfamiliar with it. When you said "Favorites" I am assuming you're referring to "bookmarks" which is what they are called on Netscape, which I use? You might see if there is a way to "export" your favorites list. I did that with Netscape, along with email addy books, etc., onto a CD or floppy disk, then took it over to the other computer (unless you have the computers networked?). Then "import" it into the program again on your new computer.

Hope this helps! :)

As Gypsy said that would work. I exported them to my desktop then burn them on a disk. Unless your new computer has a floppy that will work too. From the new computer put the folder back on the desktop and go back to IE and File, Import/Export and follow the Wizzard. That is the way I did my address book too.


But for bookmarks I also


 


Have a nice day !.
