IE; Transfer Favs

Hi

My computer at college has a list of Favs on Internet Explorer. I want to transfer this list to my stand-alone PC at home without going through and doing it one by one (as there are many hundreds of favs). Is there any possible way of doing this without this taking hours? I know that if you go to the Import and Export in File, there is a way of doing this, but only if you have a network.
Any help would be of great benifit to me

Favorites is actually a folder. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Favorites

Simply copy it to the other machine C:\Documents and Settings\{other.machine.username}\Favorites

Copy them to floppy, CD, Zip, USB etc.
or zip them and email them.

You can also use the Export feature in Internet Explorer.

Thumbs up

Try Yahoo Boookmark service

http://bookmarks.yahoo.com/

Or copy them on removable media, (it's good idea to export them to netscape format using File>Import Export
