Moving favorites from a pc with 98se to a new pc with XP

[Robert]

Can I simply copy the folder from Explorer or is there a
concern with moving folders between 98SE and XP? Hate to
rebuild all my favorites on my new PC.

No need to go that route. Simply launch IE and click on File > Import and Export Wizard, then Export your Favorites to a floppy disc. It will generate a file called Bookmark.htm. This file can then be Imported back into the system using the same Wizard on your new system and your Favorites will be recreated.

Prior to Importing, you may want to verify that the new Favorites list is empty in order to avoid any duplicates.

You should do the same routine with the cookies, if you access any websites that required a signup.

simply copying and pasting the favorites folder will also
do
