Importing and exporting Favorites

If you've been using another Web browser for a while and want to start using Internet Explorer, you can import your Favorites and other items from your other browser. That way, Internet Explorer will have all the favorite Web sites you're accustomed to from your previous browser.

Similarly, if you want to use some browser other than Internet Explorer, you can export Favorites and other items from Internet Explorer to your other browser. Either way, the steps are as follows:

1. Choose File → Import and Export from Internet Explorer's menu.
2. On the next wizard page, choose whichever option describes what you want to do and click Next.
   • To import from another browser installed on your computer, choose Import From Another Browser.
   • To import from a file that you exported from some other program, choose Import From A File and click Next.
   • To export directly to a file, choose Export To A File and click Next.
3. Choose the items to import or export (Favorites, Feeds, and Cookies) and click Next.
4. Follow additional instructions for selecting files if required, and click Import if importing data, or click Export if exporting data.
