importing favorites

[Guest]

I had to install a new hard drive and load windows on my computer because my
old hard drive had a software conflict and Windows would not load. So I am at
square one on my computer. How can I import my IE favorites and my desktop
settings so I can use them now. Non of the programs on the old hard drive can
open, but they are all there.
Thank You

Just copy and paste the favorties. The programs don't work because the disk
paths are different from when they were installed on the old drive.

Hello,

Copy the Favorites folder located in

<removable drive letter>:\documents and settings\<user name>\favorites

to

c:\documents and settings\<user name>\favorites

Your Desktop icons and documents are all located in
<removable drive letter>:\documents and settings\<user name>\
