    In Internet Explorer-> Click on FILE->Import/Export and export your favorite...Copy the file to a flash drive and then reverse the proces on the new pc.

    The problem for me is that I cannot locate where the File button is in my Vista PC.

    It is the 'File' on the menu bar of IE. If that is not showing, right click on the toolbar area check menu bar.

    Many thanks. This is first time I've seen a file button since I bought the PC 4 weeks ago. Rather strange that this was not set as a default on a brand new PC.
    This has enabled me to transfer my Favourites. Once again my thanks.

    As was the case here, please note that IE7 & 8 do not show this by default. To work around it, you should:

    With Internet Explorer active, click the Alt button on your keyboard, this will show you the menu bar. Next select File> Import and Export and export your favorites.
