I have attempted to import my favorites from a copy saved to a cd from my old
computer Windows 98, IE 6.0.28 to the new computer Windows XP, IE 6.029.
When importing I get a msg "you are not authorized". What am I doing wrong?
 
Copy it first to a folder on your new hard drive. Then right-click on that file and choose
"properties" to change if from "read only". Then import from that file. CD-Rs make all files
"read-only".
 
Thank you Richard, it worked like a charm, favorites are loaded.

Do you have any suggestions for outlook.pst files that also come up when
trying to import "you are not authorized. I have looked at their properties,
and the read only is not checked off!

Since outlook.pst files are part of the MS Office suite, you may have to take ownership of these
files first.
Do a search of the Microsoft support http://support.microsoft.com for ownership and you will get the
details.
I teach Outlook Express and IE classes so I am not up to all the features in Outlook.
