Have a dual boot G4 which my wife has been running in OS 9 for two years. Finally persuaded her to switch to OS X with much protest - but realised I forgot to transfer her IE Favs when I did it. She's now p*ssed with me and I'm now 400 miles away working, so can't do the technical stuff myself.
Is there and easy way for her to find her favorites file on the HD and import it into IE under OS X, or is it lost forever?
Our system has a glitch where once we've switched it to boot OS X, it refuses to go back to OS 9, unless you reinstall it - so that option is out of the question.
Hope someone can help - or tell me it's not possible.

Cheers - BT

Normally, Favorites were located in System 9 in the System Folder in a folder called Favorites.

They are in Macintosh HD:System folder:Preferences:Explorer: (this is a folder)Favorites. If she saves that file to, say the desktop, she can open IE in OSX, go to favorites, manage favorites, and then use its import feature that will look for the "favorites" file. Direct it to the desktop and you’re done.[SIZE=7][COLOR=Black]
