I use Windows Xp with Internet Explorer 6.
My Windows crashed, but the hard disk drive is ok.
So I connected the hard disk to another computer.
I can see all the folders and files.
I want to get back my favorites from the Internet Explorer.
Where are the favorites stored?
Is it possible to recover them?
Who can help me?

Hi,
Favorites should be at [C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Favorites]

You should be able to simply copy those Favorites to the HD of the working
computer. If copying the entire Favorites folder doesn't work, copy
sub-folders. If that doesn't work, select a group of shortcuts (favorites)
and copy them.

Hope this helps,

Thank you Don,

I found the folder.
Very often it is so simple.
Thanks,

Ricky
