Bookmarks are a great web browser tool. This allows you to simply click on the link you have saved in your bookmarks vs typing the link in the address bar every time for your most visited sites.

Are you aware that you can transfer your bookmarks to a new computer? Whether you simply want to backup your existing bookmarks or received a new computer, this is a very simple process.

Before you begin the transfer, you might want to clean up your bookmarks. You may have dead links that you don't need anymore.

The next step is to export your bookmark list. I suggest saving your bookmarks on your desktop to find it easier later on in the process. I have included IE (Internet Explorer), Apple's Safari, and Firefox.

--If IE does not display the menu (File, Edit, View, etc.), right-click in the gray area. Select Menu. Click File>>Import and Export. When the wizard opens, click Next. Select Export Favorites and click Next. Select Favorites and click Next. Click Browse and select the Desktop. Click Save. Click Next>>Finish.

--In Firefox, click Bookmarks>>Organize Bookmarks. Click File>>Export. In the "Export bookmark file" dialogue box, select Desktop. Click Save.

--In Apple's Safari, click File>>Export Bookmarks. A Save As dialogue box will open. In the Save in: box, select Desktop. Click Save.

You may want to save the bookmark list to a CD or a thumb drive. You may also send the file to your e-mail account if you wish.

Now simply save your bookmark file to your to your desktop on the new computer. You are now ready to import your bookmarks into your new browser.

--If IE does not display the menu (File, Edit, View, etc.), right-click in the gray area. Select Menu. Click File>>Import and Export. When the wizard opens, click Next. Select Import Favorites and click Next. Select Import from a File or Address. Click Browse and select the Desktop. Select the file and click Save. Click Next. Select Favorites and click Next>>Finish.

--In Firefox, click Bookmarks>>Organize Bookmarks. Click File>>Import. Then select From File and click Next. Select Desktop and find the file. Click Open.

--In Appe’s Safari, click File>>Import Bookmarks. Select Desktop and locate the bookmarks file. Click Open.

Make it a great day!
