To Manage Bookmarks: DIY

You almost certainly use bookmarks (called Favorites in Internet Explorer) to return to sites you visit often. All current browsers provide basic tools for bookmarking pages, and for deleting and organizing your list of bookmarked sites. But what are your options if you want to share bookmarks between two different browsers?

A quick search of Google reveals various utilities and online services that promise to replicate your bookmarks. But you don't need to spend money or entrust your browsing predilections to others to get organized: Your browser already has import and export commands that let you grab another browser's bookmarks.

In Internet Explorer (the Windows XP SP2 version), choose File, Import and Export, click Next, and select Import Favorites. Click Browse to navigate to the location of your other browser's bookmarks file. Both Firefox and Mozilla store bookmarks in a file called "bookmarks.htm" that may reside in any of several locations on your hard disk; to locate it, choose Start, Search, enter the name in the text box, and press Enter.

Opera stores its bookmarks in a proprietary format that other programs can't import, but you can export bookmarks from it to an HTML file that the other browsers can read; choose File, Export, Bookmarks as HTML to do so. Internet Explorer lets you do the same thing with its Favorites: choose File, Import and Export, Next, Export Favorites, and click Next twice to export a bookmarks.htm file to the My Documents folder. To import bookmarks into Firefox, choose Bookmarks, Manage Bookmarks, File, Import (Tools, Import in Mozilla). To move your bookmarks into Opera, select File, Import, and then choose either Netscape bookmarks (for Firefox or for Mozilla/Netscape) or Internet Explorer favorites (for IE).
