How to Save Bookmarks on a Memory Stick in Explorer
Over time, many people will save hundreds of web pages in their Internet Explorer (IE) Favorites menu. If the computer crashes and the system has to be restored, often times the IE Favorites folder will not be restored. To prevent losing all of your accumulated favorites, IE will allow you to backup the favorites list onto an HTML file. This file can be saved on the hard drive, or to an external memory device like a memory stick. It can then be imported back to the IE Favorites menu at a later date.
