I'm going out of town for business and I want to be able
to access my IE favorites folder (on my home computer)
from my sister's computer. How can I make it available to
myself at a remote location? How can I e-mail a folder? I
have hotmail, yahoo, and another e-mail account. I leave
messages in this account on the server so I can access
them from other locations. Should I copy it onto a floppy?
Would I then have to copy and paste the links? Is this
enough questions? Thank You!

Copy the foler \windows\favourites to a floppy diskette. (just right click
the folder and select "Send to..." and choose the floppy diskette).

Going to be alot easier.

Why not use IE-File-Export and create a single html file you can
easily transport? (Assuming at least IE5)

Alan, That is a great idea, I can forward it to my email
account and access it anywhere, however, I tried it and it
creates the html file as an aol html file. My husband uses
aol and this is his computer. I tried going to internet
options and changing the default html editor program from
blank to windows notepad (I thought it used to be Word,
but that's not an option, by the way, how do I make it an
option in the dropdown box?) Then I tried it again, it
still created the html file as an aol file and I cannot
access those because my husband won't let me get into his
aol account. I guess html editor is not the same as
default file type program. I went to Folder options and
(having changed default programs there in the past to open
hotmail attachments which had been downloading as aol jpeg
files to iexplore as the default program for jpeg, hehe he
hasn't noticed yet) I'm not sure which program to change
aol html default to. Can I use iexplore for html files? or
do I have to use something like msword (or winword)
whatever it's called in the folder options file types box?
And Thank You for your quick response to my original
question!

The default will be AOL if you haven't set IE as the default internet
browser.
