I just imported my favorits from a windows XP pro using IE7 into another
windows XP pro using IE7 and all my links that are not in English (Japanese,
Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew, etc) show as dashes instaed of the name in
that language. If I add the name fresh to my favorits, then it show up
correctly.
Any idea what happened? I really don't want to go and recreate the 100+
links that I ahve in another languages besife english.

Thanks
 
Open HTML file & clk View >encoding

If it says W European That doesnt include Chiness, Korean, etc so XP
gets closest char it can. Remember everything is just bits which can
be interpreted as numbers, chars, instructions,..

Try wite Fav folder to CF,SD,.. & replace that folder in 2nd OS with
it.

Any advice is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
 
Thanks Larry,
What do you mean by "Try wite Fav folder to CF,SD,.. & replace that folder
in 2nd OS with it."

Yes the encoding is W European. Still don't know how to export with the
correct incoding.

Favorites is defined in Registry as a folder - in my case F:\My
Documents\Favorites. So I would write contents of F:\My
Documents\Favorites to CF Then replace content of D:\Docs\Favorites
(Favorites on OS2) with it.
Yes the encoding is W European.

Open HTML file u saved Favorites to & see what affect changing
encoding makes - try Korean, UT-8,...
