I'm new to OSX, just recently made the switch. But here is my question;
how do I get my old IE 5 (OS9) Favorites into IE5 (OSX.1.5).

I can't launch OS9 in the Classic mode, deleted all the extensions in OS9 some time ago when I was cleaning up my System Folder.

Thanks J��n

Copy the file at /System Folder/Preferences/Explorer/Favorites.html (your OS 9 favourites) to ~/Library/Preferences/Explorer/Favorites.html (where ~ is your home folder).

you can also make an alias of it so that when you have to boot into OS 9, you still have your current bookmarks available.
