Can any of you gurus out there please tell me how to print a list (page name & URL) of all my bookmarked favourites. I've found the files, but when I try to print them to a file, then look at it using notepad, it's just noodlewords. Help please! :confused:

Good idea Alex, hope someone helps soon!!.
So how do you do the samething in FIREFOX and OPERA as well as IE6.
(I use all 3 browsers)

In IE6, go to the File Menu and select Import and Export ...
Select export favourites, select the starting favourite group.

This will export it to a HTML file. The file will open up in your web browser and you'll be able to print it from there.

The same (export it to a HTML file then open that file and print it) works for Firefox (at least on Linux it does).

In case anyone is interested, I solved a problem with favourites that had been bothering me for years. I have a ridiculous number of PCs (one in the shed too), a server and a laptop. It was giving me the irrits when I'd be on a PC and it didn't have the link I was after, then I'd have to go searching. Another problem was synchronising the layout - it was the pits.

I found a tool called Foldershare (google will find it for you) that allows me to synch the favourites folder (and other directories) over the internet. This means that when I update my favourites here in Gippsland on the laptop, when I get home to Melbourne the link is already on all PCs (or synchs shortly after I start them).

It is also very handy for work files.

It doesn't help with your printing Alex, but I thought there may be some others interested in it.
