Hi. Sometimes I've had to reformat my comp and of course everything is erased. In the past I knew how to save html file favorites from Firefox and IE to a folder so that when the reformat was over I could dbl click them and re add them to favorites.

I have since forgotten where to go to do this. Which folder do you access for any web browser (I am currently using IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera sporadically. I might try Avant at some point too) to get to the actual favorite file? That way I can copy it to my external drive and once I reinstall the browser readd it to favorites. Please let me know how to do this as in the past I lost some very important favorites my mom had added in Mozilla.

Thanks.

All browsers store favourites in different places.
There is no one single place.

As far as IE is concerned there is a Favourites folder in the profile folder, C:\Users\<user name>\ for Vista, and Documents and Settings for XP.
Firefox uses its own profile location which, theoretically, can exist anywhere you want on the drive.
