The favourites list.
As I have said earlier, i make backups of my data files (drive D:) to two separate external disks everyday using Macrium reflect but, I don't backup my O/S and programmes which are held on my c: drive, perhaps I ought to do this aswell.
Personally I always use the software mentioned here to backup and restore browser profiles:
All of my Favorites lost

Choose what to backup.
Choose where to save backup and name the file (maybe add date to file name)
To restore make sure that the browser is not running then choose backup and browse to the backup file.
In Options > Setting choose which modules to include or remove from the drop down list in the GUI:
Moot point now that you've got it working but the easiest way to import from directly from another browser is during the installation process. After that, gets a bit messy - already installed browsers only like importing from an htm(l) file (which other browsers create as a result of the export process).
Oh yes, been there done, that, got so many T-shirtsWell folks, please don't ask me how, but I've now got ALL of my favourites back. I have been following idgat's ( and others) instructions and I have clicked on this and I've clicked on that, I have imported and exported this and that and yes, the full list is back again. Absolutely amazing.
Could print to pdf ... settings elipse (that's the word I was looking for !! - that's what the 3 dots are called) > Print > Save as > name and save. You'll have to do this page by page.What I would like to do now is to make a backup of this list so that if I run into this problem again at any time I will be able to overcome it more easily. Would someone be good enough to explain the bet way to do this please.
Else, save the link as a shorcut to Favorites, or copy and paste the link as a shortcut file on your Desktop and save that somewhere.
