or if you just want to backup your favourites or give them to a friend, they are just shortcuts stored in
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Favorites
by default

by defaultWhy would you want to faff around doing it that way? The way Clutch described can be used for backing up favorites, or for giving them to a friend - to import an exported list you simply use the same procedure, except you select Import rather than Export.
Having said that though, if you are only backing up because you want to do a reinstall & you have more than 1 drive/partition then it is easier to just keep your favourites on a different drive/partition & then when you reinstall use a tweak prog like Xteq-Xsetup to look elsewhere for the favourites instead of the default location.

faff around?
it's way easier to just copy the files. 1 drag and 1 drop.
besides, because it is a standard windows shortcut, you will be able to use them with any browser, providing you have it set to your default browser.

Every time I install a system, I export my favorites and cookies and just bring them over to my new system. They import very easily, as they are just 2 files (as I have almost 600 bookmarks in 100+ folders, that helps me a bit) to keep track of. Also, he asked how to export them into a single HTML page, which the copy and paste method wouldn't accommodate anyway.
how long does that take in miliseconds?
I know he was asking that, but I was just putting that there for other peoples information. He aleady had the question answered.

Try to FTP it from a remote computer, and then tell me. With all the file status requests, it takes quite a long time vs. using one simple file.
thats what ZIP is for
Wow, this is much better than waiting for updates to Trillian when AOL jacks them...
So, now we add another step AND application to the mix eh? You are dedicated to your method, aren't you?
