Always a good idea to back up and store a copy of your favorites! Learn just how in Internet Explorer.

Use the Import/Export Wizard to Back Up Favorites

With Internet Explorer open, click on the File menu, then click Import/Export to launch the Import/Export Wizard.

Click Next, then click Export Favorites. Select the folder you want to back up. Typically, it will be the Favorites folder, which automatically will include all subfolders.

Click the Browse button to select where you would like to store the copy of your favorites. Ideally, you will select a network drive, a floppy disk, recordable CD or some other removable media.

Avoid saving and leaving the file on your hard drive. If the drive fails, it will take the backup with it. Click next, then finish.

You've just backed up your Favorites to the specified location.
