1. Is it a Windows system? And what version if it is? Is it connected
to the other system by a network?

2. One computer is Windows 98 and the other is Windows ME
Neither computer is conncected to a network....one computer is a work and the other is at home.

3. Just backup your Favorites on to a disk and copy them over to
the other system.

Access the Favorites through this method:

C: - Documents and Settings - Your user name

Just copy the Favorites over to the CD or what ever. Then on the other system you can either import them from the device or copy them to the folder as above.

7. Another solution
The direct copy methods mentioned here will work. What I did is export my bookmarks to Yahoo. You can them use them on any PC anywhere by logging in to MyYahoo. You can then import them to another PC.
