Can I back up my favourites in IE?
Does anyone know how to back up my favourites in Internet Explorer?

I've heard there is a way to do it, but can't remember how it was done.

Good idea. I've got hundreds of pages in my favourites, and I'd hate to lose them all. I'll be backing up mine in a second.

To do this, open your windows directory and you should see a 'Favourites' folder there somewhere. Simply right-click it and choose 'Copy'. Then it's simply a matter of inserting your floppy disk, opening the window for it(in 'Run' in the 'Start' menu type a and right-clicking again and selecting 'Paste'.

I just discovered you can also 'Export' your favourites in IE. In 'File' within IE click 'Import/Export'. It gives you the option of saving them to a text file or html file. It would be useful, but it might make restoring your lost favourites difficult if you need to in the future. The copy/paste method seems as though it would be easier.
