    hi everyone.
    i'm going to visit my sister several states away next week. i'm doing some website work for her using her pc. i want to take my bookmarks and put them on her pc and have all my auto userid/passwords work too. is this doable?

    i figured out the bookmark part - i can export to an html file. how or can i take my ids and pws. i'm using xphome w/sp2 & ie6 sp2. she has some version of windows but is totally clueless as to using the pc. and i say "clueless" with a lot of love. :)

    You can't take the passwords with you. It would make computers very vunerable to bad things if you could get this info too easily.

    Before you ask: They are stored in encrypted form in the Windows registry.

    Write the usernames and passwords in a txt file and take that with you.
