Ily,

You could just copy the Favorites folder found in Docs & Settings\UserName to the other computer. Saves exporting/importing.

Go to My Computer -> Documents & Settings -> UserName (that you want the favorites from) -> copy the Favorites folder found there

to a Thumb or Flash drive or to a shared network drive.

Overwrite the Favorites folder on the other computer (same location on this computer) with this copied folder

One problem!! This s from where I want them is on Windows Vista OS. And to Windows XP.
I don't think I see that folder. "Documents and Settings"
