Internet Browser: Internet Explorer

What’s the Issue: For migrating from Windows XP — which is close to 70% of desktops today — to Windows 7, consumers will require a ‘clean’ install of the new operating system. Users will need to re-install their popular browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, AOL, Internet Explorer and others and potentially lose the bookmarks and history of their favorite places on the Internet.

Why Do It: Keep using the browser that you are familiar with and migrate your bookmarks and history of your favorite places on the Internet. Follow these easy steps to re-install Internet Explorer and migrate your bookmarks and favorites when you upgrade to Windows 7.

Follow these easy steps to take a backup of bookmarks and favorites from the Internet Explorer browser:

STEP 1: Click on Internet Explorer File and move on Import and Export.

STEP 2: Select Export to a file and click on Next.

STEP 3: Click on Favorites and then click on Next. Select Favorites and then click on Next. The Favorites folder will be selected, click on Next.

STEP 4: By default a file named Bookmark.htm will be created, and the location of the file will be My Documents.

STEP 5: Click on Export and then click on Finish.

STEP 6: Copy the Bookmark.htm file to an external hard drive.

STEP 7: Do a clean installation of Windows 7 on your system.

STEP 8: Internet Explorer can be downloaded for free from its website. Now download and install the AOL 9.0VR with the help of installation wizard.

STEP 9: Now, if you want to import the back up do the reverse of export as:Click on File, move to Import and Export. Select Import from a file. Click Next.

STEP 10: Select the options you want to import, click on Next. The file Bookmark.htm will be visible in the location from where the import has to be done. Click on import and then Finish.
