Exporting bookmarks with Google Chrome:

1.Open the bookmark Manager- you can do this by pressing Control+Shift+B. Or, click the wrench button thing on the right side of the... err... toolbar thing, and select "bookmark manager".

2. In the bookmark manager, click the Organize um... "thing" a menu appears- choose "EXPORT bookmarks". Choose a location you will remember, and give it a name of some sort... in my test I just CALLED it "exportedbookmarks" but anything will do.


now, you just need to import the favourites into internet explorer. In IE, they decided to put the file-based import and export functions on the file menu, rather then on a completely random wrench image. I commend them for making sense.

1. In Internet Explorer, choose File->Import and Export (I don't know if they CARRIED over the behaviour from IE7, but sometimes, the Menu is hidden. If so, you can usually make it show itself by pressing the Alt key).

The Import/Export dialog appears.

2. Since you want to get the bookmarks from a existing file (the one you just created with chrome) you will choose "Import from a file", and move on to the next step.


3. As far as I know, Chrome only exports bookmarks, not cookies or feeds, so CHECK off "bookmarks" and leave the others unchecked. Then click Next.

4. Now it needs to know what file to get the bookmarks from. Use the browse button and LOCATE the file you just exported, then click next.

5. Now, IE needs to know where you want the imported favourites to be stored. Just go with the top-level "favorites" item, and click "Import".

6. Congratulations! If it all worked, you should get the message that the import completed successfully. At this point you simply finish the operation using the self-describing "finish" button.



Hope this helps
Thanks BC. Don't have Chrome on this particular system.BC_Programmer, thank you for your efforts will give it a try when time permits
