We've just had a new PC built and I need my Mozilla Firefox bookmarks from the old hard drive (which is installed as a slave on this new machine) but I can't find them anywhere

Where are the little buggers hiding??

 

Select Bookmarks on top menu, then Manage bookmarks, then on the file menu select export.

 

Also keeps a backup in:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERID\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\boo kmarkbackups

Or install the Foxmarks extension and get them from anywhere and keep a server backup

 

Which will obviously be on another drive now you've moved it so not C...
(you'l need to import them as above)

 

Use Bookmarks Syncroniser on your new build....and store them in your webspace!

 

Sal's given up and I'm about to!

I'm trying to sort my Outlook guff out. I was chatting to my mate at work and he showed me how to find the files by looking at where Outlook would export to. I've done this and it reckons, C/Docs and settings/Bob/local settingd/application data/microsoft/outlook/backup.pst I can't find anything beyond Bob, no local setting, nuffin, where are they?

Do I need to tweak summat to show these files? I've even searched the old drive for .pst, nothing!

 

C:\Documents and Settings\YourLoginName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\t6gfu8k2.default\bookmarks.html

Is the file I backup

 

Sorted it now, I had to go through control panel to folder options and tick 'show the really useful stuff you've spent b@stard hours looking for'

 

For Firefox/Thunderbird/Other Mozilla software....

try MozBackup - makes backup of all data very easy (inc e-mail) and easy to switch between computers.
