can't import bookmark

nm

HIHI,I can't import the old bookmark file onto the new IE
6 installed, any solution please? The old bookmark I got
from the Old PC and I did tried to import in the OLD PC
and has no problem. Both PCs use the same version of
Windows and IE. Any hints to the newbies please?

Do you mean you exported first to an HTML file?
(IE doesn't use a bookmark file normally)
If so, what error did you get?
If "Not a valid bookmark file" error then this is created by saving an
emailed favorites export using File-Save

Open the page in Notepad and remove this first line:

<!-- saved from url=(0022)http://internet.e-mail -->

No idea, I am afraid. I cannot reproduce a bookmark.htm that looks
like that.
My first 10 lines look like this:

<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
