| Vista home premium 32bit i think | Re: How to Import & Export Favorites in IE7 I just posted the following message on another forum when I found this tutorial: It seems the only thing I did differently was to e-mail from one computer to the other. so why didnt it work? on Dell PC with Win XP I loaded Windows Explorer, I clicked File and Import/Export to call up the Wizard and exported all my favorites including sub-menus. Then I e-mailed the resultant Bookmark.htm as a file attachment to my new Toshiba laptop with Vista. Switching to the Toshiba I received the e-mail and saved the attachment in my Desktop Downloads folder and with Windows Explorer did the same as above in reverse to Import the file from my Downloads folder. everything went well until the Wizard finished. then I got a message:"not a valid bookmark file." I opened the file and all the bookmarks are active links. I clicked on one to load that website, saved it as a favorite in my new Favorites, and it worked. so the links are accurate. why wont Internet Explorer receive it. I even thought that maybe the sub-folders had something to do with it, so did the whole thing again with only one folder. same problem. what am i doing wrong? |

I checked this myself and got the same result as you. I have managed to solve the problem and have added this to the Tutorial under 'E-mail' at point 22. Basically, the e-mail adds an extra line to the header information which causes the problem, and in order to solve it, this line needs to be deleted. Dwarf |

| Vista home premium 32bit i think | Re: How to Import & Export Favorites in IE7 Thanks a lot. i really appreciate all the work you and other tutorial makers do. Until I got Vista I didnt know you people existed so I'd been hitting myself over the head with some of the MS problems solvers that assume a lot more knowledge than I have. I bet this added line is the reason some other data file transfers didnt work. From now on I'll open with Notepad and see. Now that I have imported favorites, guess what site was the first added? |

| Microsoft Windows Vista Utimate x86 | Hi. I have a little problem. I just did an OS upgrade from Windows Vista Basic to Windows Vista Ultimate. I had a lot of bookmarks, so I saved my bookmarks. I did that by exporting them in to a file, and placed this file on my external Hard Drive. This file has an *.HTM file extension, but the import/export wizard tells me that it is in a wrong format on the import. How do I import it?? Thank You. |
