Bookmarks and Favorites

Sharing Bookmarks and Favorites
Favorites in Internet Explorer or bookmarks in Netscape Navigator, are a convenient way to organize and link to Web pages that you visit frequently.

Note:
Exported favorites are saved as a regular HTML file, so either Internet Explorer or Navigator can import them. You can export a selected folder in your Favorites list, or all of your favorites.

The exported favorites file is fairly small, so if you want to share the favorite items with other people, you can copy it to a floppy disk or folder on a network, or attach it to an e-mail message.
