How to Extract AOL Favorites

Save favorites to one online location so they are easy to find and always accessible.

Move your online website bookmarks (also called "favorites") to one location or Web browser to stay organized, and save time finding links to the websites you access most often. If you have bookmarks stored with your AOL (America Online) account, you will need to "export" your AOL favorites before they can be copied to another program. Use the "Export Bookmarks" feature located on the AOL Web pages to extract favorites, and save them for importing into another application.
