coping favourite

I want to copy IE favourite folders using floppies
so that I can transfer them to another computer
the copy/paste method is not successful(I get errors).
Is there a special way to do it .Thanks

 

Hello visitor

You may wish to consider obtaining a USB Flash drive. They hold anywhere from 32 MB to 512 MB and plug into your USB port. They are fast and practical and do not cost much.

They are available at your local electronics shop or shop online.

Best wishes

 

Hi QSection

Just wonder how such thing be delt with in the past
when there weren't USB flash drive. Its true they are not expensive but is not worth buying it just for sake of transfering few links.
