I just had a major system crash and realize the only thing I don't have a backup of is my Favorites. I have the old c: drive on my new pc as an external drive (f:) and can access many files. My problem is getting a backup of the favorites. When I open IE, the only favs are the few default ones. I did a search on the f: drive for "bookmark", but it didn't come up with but a fraction of my favs.
Since I cannot open up IE on the f: drive, how do i get a backup of those favs?
Thank you!

Thanks Dudeking - For some reason all of my favs were not there, but a HUGE percentage of them were.

Great! Humm with the few that arnt there try looking in E:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Favorites

Some times things are kept in the allusers folder instead.
