Is there a way to export my bookmarks from IE 5 on os9.1 to use with IE 5.1 on os X.
I have a lot of bookmarks and typing them all in would be a real pain in the arse.
Thanks for any help.

Under the Favorites menu, Organize Favorites. Then under the File menu, Import Favorites.

Another way is simply to move them. Your Favorites.html file needs to reside in the following location in X...

Home (whatever your user name is) > Library > Preferences > Explorer.

Drop them into that folder and restart IE. You'll be all set.

I've found that just putting an alias to my OS 9.1 favorites is a better solution. That way you update one set of favorites regardless of the OS you're using.

Make an alias of your Favorites.html and drag it into the location specified in the previous post.

Good Luck
Mac's Rule!
