How to Save Bookmarks in IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera

How would you like to save your bookmarks in IE, Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome so that you can restore them in case if you need to re-install your operating system or move them from one computer to another? This post will show you how to save and restore bookmarks in simple steps.

Bookmarking the favorite web pages can save a lot of time as it becomes almost impossible to remember a list of favorite websites and their URLs. However it can be really frustrating at times when you lose all those saved bookmarks in case if a computer crashes. Also if you are a person who uses more than one computer then it becomes hard to copy all those saved bookmarks one by one manually. So saving the bookmarks can become handy in such situations. Here is how to to do it.

1. From the File menu, select the option Import and Export.

2. Select the option Export to a file and click on Next.

3. In the next screen select Favorites and click on Next.

4. In the next screen again click on Favorites and click on Next.

5. Now choose the destination where you want to save your bookmarks and click onExport.

6. In the next screen click on Finish.

Now you have successfully saved all your bookmarks in a .HTM file. You can use this file to later restore the bookmarks to either IE, Firefox or any other browser. To import the saved bookmarks from a file all you need to do is goto File menu, click on Import and Export, select the option Import from a file and proceed with the screen instructions.

Saving a Bookmark file in Firefox

1. From the Bookmarks menu on the top select the option Organize Bookmarks.

2. A window will pop-up. From the window click on Import and Backup at the top and select the option Export HTML.

3. Now choose the destination where you want to save the bookmark file and click onSave.

To restore this saved file, follow the step-1 and in step-2 select the option Import HTMLinstead of Export HTML and proceed.

2. Click the Organize menu in the manager.

To restore the bookmarks, follow step-1, step-2 and in step-3 select Import bookmarks instead of Export bookmarks and proceed.

1. From the File menu, select the option Import and Export.

2. Scroll over to the pull-down menu on the right and choose Export Bookmarks as HTML.

2)I don't have IIS( Internet Information Services) windows componet on my systemAs far as I know one can't have IIS running on XP Home. I think u will have to upgrade it to XP Prof. in proff That's simple get the Win XP CD, go to control panel-->add/remove programs and then to add/remove windows components. There u will find the option for adding IIS, just check the checkbox and follow the instructions. You r done!!
3) Folder Option Vanished
IF U WANT UR FILES THT WERE HIDDEN U CAN TYPE *.* IN SEARCH AND ALSO TICK THE OPTION "INCLUDE HIDDEN FILES".NOW SEARCH IN THE DRIVE IN WHICH U STORED UR FILES, U WILL GET UR FILES BUT TO GET BACK THE OPTION U EITHER HAVE TO REINSTALL WINDOWS OR REPAIR IT. well this is as far as i know..

4) My volume icon is not showing in taskbar, Yet It's Enable From Control Panel > Sound And devices
Assuming that you have tried the basic steps i am directly trying with the most possible solutions. This issue most commmonly occurs because the settings are not saved. Also there might be some startup program which is diabling the Systray.exe from loading up.
Try this...1) Re-enable the volume icon by disabling and then enabling Place volume icon in the taskbar in the Sound and Audio applet.2) Then copy the following text which is in red into a notepad file and then save it as "fix.reg". Please make sure that there is no .txt extension after that.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]"SystemTray"="SysTray.Exe"
3) Merge the file to the registry by simply double clicking on it.4) Reboot
This should definitely work. Please reply back with the status.
Cheers

5)Whenever i try d'loading stuff from the net, the download starts and the comp just restarts. due to dis i have to install d'load managers wich i hate. help needed anyone. i have win xp!
If the computer just restarts itself, it cud possibly be an application crash.. check the Dr.watson log for details.. START-RUN- drwtsn32. check the path for the log here... open the log and check which application is causing the crash. turn of automatic reboot,cos you wud miss it if there is a BSOD being generated.
or may be u could try this one out
Go to Start>Run--Type 'services.msc', hit ENTERScroll down to a service called Remote Procedure Call, right click, go to properties, there will be a tab named Recover Action, change it to 'Take No Action' if it's not already selected. Your problem should be solved for the time being. Also look for all network related srvices DNS, TCP-IP and also Windows Firewall/ICS service if you're on LAN/WAN, see that all of these are set to Automatic or Manual. Reply to me with results

6)I accidentally deleted the Show Desktop icon which sits normally on the bottom left hand corner of the Taskbar. How do I restore the icon?
Click Start, Run and type the following command:
regsvr32 /n /i:U shell32.dll
The Show Desktop icon file should be available now.
or
Click Start, Run, and type Notepad.exe. Copy the following contents to Notepad.
[Shell]Command=2IconFile=explorer.exe,3[Taskbar]Command=ToggleDesktop
Save the file as - : Show Desktop.scf. Now, drag the file to the Quick Launch Toolbar. (Notepad might automatically append a .txt extension to the file name. Remove this extension if present.)
