You likely have more than a few sites saved to your Favorites
list that, no matter how long you spent searching, you'd never be
able to find again. To keep your Favorites saved for all of
eternity, it's a good idea to back up your Favorites list to a
disk. This way, you can carry them with you as you change or
upgrade computers or as a backup means of preservation should you
ever need it.
To do so, insert a disk into your floppy drive. Next,
double-click on My Computer and select your C drive. Navigate to
your username folder in the Documents And Settings folder, and
then right-click on your Favorites folder. Select Send To from
the shortcut menu and choose the drive you want to copy to
(usually your A drive for a floppy disk). A copy of your
Favorites is then saved to that location, which you can now take
with you wherever you go, or store away in case of a PC meltdown.
