I have a large collection of Favourites in Internet Explorer and would like to back them up so that if anything happened to my machine I wouldn’t lose them. Where are they stored and how can I back them up?

If you back up your machine at the moment, your Internet Explorer Favourites will be backed up also. Backing up your machine is really important, so making sure you have a regular backup is key to bringing it back if you have any problems.

If it’s just your Favourites you want to backup, these are stored in your Profile under a folder called Favourites. You’ll find all your Favourites there, whether they are links to the best gadget sites, page that tell you how to fade stretch marks or link to some of the most addictive games on the web. You can zip this up and place it on a USB stick
