In reply to: Ramona 's message, "Last time my computer crashed, Dell support was able to get me up enough to get my photos copied, thank God. Since then, I copy them to disc right away, make a double copy and put the copy in my safe deposit box at the bank. That way, If I ever lose them from home, at least I have copies there. I am so paranoid about losing them all. I was never able to figure out the right way to tranfer favorites or address book, so I just kept a printed copy of those. Hope you can figure it out though." on 6:53:23 am, Sat, 10/13/07

Kate, are you using Internet Explorer click on File, click on Import and export and follow the directions. This will put all your favorites document type format for easy backup. (NT) -- Gerry, 8:32:28 am, Sat, 10/13/07
Okay my typing is a mess this morning,my apologies. Now For Outlook - again click on File and select Import and Export...... -- Gerry, 8:42:23 am, Sat, 10/13/07
To back up address books, again click on File, Import and export, Select Export to a file only this time.... -- Gerry, 8:51:14 am, Sat, 10/13/07
I don't see a box to mark "include subfolders at the bottom" it did say to save as "html" or "all" and I tried both ways.... (NT) -- Kate (again), 8:56:03 am, Sat, 10/13/07
I am using Internet Explorer Gerry...and I did as you said, but when I go into "my documents" it is showing as an "e" file (do you know what I mean?) and then when I click on it to open it says something about being an unreadable file or something....and is impossible to read..??? (NT) -- Kate, 8:52:56 am, Sat, 10/13/07
Not sure what an "e" file is. When the favorites save they should be in a file named "bookmark.html". What Version of IE are you using? Outlook--- -- Gerry, 9:22:23 am, Sat, 10/13/07
it's Internet Explorer 7 when it saves the file it's just called "bookmark" there is no html or anything after it.... (NT) -- Kate, 11:08:20 am, Sat, 10/13/07
Okay. It is the proper file and it is saving correctly. I know what you mean about an 'E' file now and yes that is the proper format. When you are using the Export Favorites Wizard.... -- Gerry, 12:18:46 pm, Sat, 10/13/07
Got It!!! Thank you Gerry!!! (NT) -- Kate, 12:20:34 pm, Sat, 10/13/07
