How can I print out my "favorites" list in Explorer?

MS Explorer - version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-
151915
I recently bought a new computer - the motherboard on the old one was
damaged by either a Power Surge or Lightning Strike and now I'm trying to
find all the websites I had previously added to my "Favorites" list. It's a
real drag to lose this kind of information!!
What I would like to see made available, is a method whereby I could produce
a "Printout" of my favorites list - showing each site name & its URL.
Is there any hope that at sometime in the future this would be possible.

1. From Internet Explorer, choose "File" - "Import and Export".

2. When the "Import/Export Wizard" dialog box appears, click the "Next"
button.

3. Select "Export Favorites", then click "Next".

4. Make sure the "Favorites" folder is selected, then click "Next".

5. Select "Export to a File or Address". Underneath, enter
"C:\favorites.htm". Click "Next"

6. Click "Finish" to close the dialog box, then "OK" to close the dialog
that follows showing your favorites were exported.

7. In the Internet Explorer address bar, enter "C:\favorites.htm" and press
ENTER.

8. Select "File" - "Print".

9. When the "Print" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "Options"
tab.

10. Check "Print table of links".

11. Select the "General" tab and select your desired printer. Change options
as desired.

12. Press the "Print" button to print your list of favorites, followed by a

It has been available for many years.
You can produce a printable html file with IE-File-Export and you can
save a copy as a backup to be used with IE-File-Import.

This freeware produces a better looking one:

JoAnn I want to thank you profusely.
I have printed out your instruction sheet and will put it to use in the very
near future.
Next time I have a crash, I'll be able to "reacquire" all of my favorites.

I wish I could take credit for that but the truth is that I found the
directions by using Google. But you're very welcome.
