Cruzer USB 2.0 Flash Drive?

How do I use it? I want to move my favorites off a Vista PC to a Win7 Laptop.

Hello Bud,
Save (export) your favorites to the usb drive.
Plug it in to the laptop, start IE, (make sure both versions are the same), go to File>import and export> and just follow the on screen instructions.
Hope this helps, good luck and post your results.

Stoney, thanks for your reply. I do believe I stumbled onto a way to transfer my old to the new. Hopefully. Went to "Windows File Transfer" transferred all my files onto my Flash Drive and I am now downloading it onto my Laptop. Will let you know if all is well.

Update. It did not work, it said not enough space to complete download. What I want to do is just transfer the favorites not the whole she-bang. Will work on it tomorrow.

Your internet explorer favorites are stored here:

c:\documents and settings\%user%\favorites

NOTE: %user% = your username

Click start >
go tocomputer >
click documents and settings >
click on your username >
click on the favorites folder >
now, on the keyboard, hold control or ctrl and hit A then hit C while still holding control >
that will copy all of your favorites for you >
then plug in the cruzer driver >
navigate back to my computer >
open the cruzer driver >
then right click anywhere in that window and click paste > done

Go to your IE and follow the pictures. when all done, you will find the favorites (bookmarks) in the folder you have set in step 9 (which could be your USB stick). Then on the other system, you just go the Import route.

I have not had time to check out these last 2 solutions but thanks. I have restored my system to an earlier date in hopes it will get me on the right track. One thing I noticed was one referred to "My Computer" , Don't find it.
