mine NEVER asks when to store them unless I am EXPORTING them not IMPORTING the,

Re: Why won't favorites import in ie 7+?

Hi!

Here is what I did to import my favorites.
I did it manually with copy/paste:

copy : where my Windows XP favorites are
paste : c:\users\abc\favorites wehre abc is your user name

It worked just fine.

Have a nice day!
