Is there a way to print my favorites/bookmarks?

The dingos et my first thread with the same name.

Is there a way I can print my list of bookmarks/favorite sites from Explorer where I’ll have both the site name and URL?

Thanks-

File - Import and Export - Export Favorites

If you use the default bookmarks.htm file, it’ll give you an actual HTML file (which you can then open up in a browser) but you’ll just see the site name as a link - the URL isn’t shown.

If you save as bookmarks.txt instead, when you double-click the file to open it you’ll see the raw html which shows you the URLs and the text. Kinda messy, I know…

This is IE6 by the way. Maybe it’s different in IE7 - perhaps it exports more pretty-like.

Here’s a method for doing this in IE 5:

No idea if this works in more recent versions.

Outta curiosity, why do you want to print your list of favorites?

If you’re command-line comfy, click Start > Run and type cmd then press ENTER

It should open to your user folder, something like C:\Documents and Settings\Sampiro

Type dir Favorites /s /b > fav.txt

You should now have a text file in that folder with the entire contents of your Favorites folder listed.

Only problem with the >dir method is the OP wants the favorite name AND the url it points to.

One Day Fish Sale’s method works in IE 6 & 7 as well. But, the printed output does NOT include the url. it’s just a pretty folder listing.

Do the export from IE then use a word processor & find/replace to strip out the crap would be the best bet for a non-technical person. A developer could whip up an XSLT to do the conversion, but that’s probably a bit outside the OPs world.

It’s been a while, so I forget the details, but if you Zip the directory with WinZip, then you can save it and print it in different formats using that program’s control panel.

I use Winzip, not to print, but just to make a reasonable size backup file, which I stash on my Yahoo on-line Briefcase.
If you try to backup all those hundreds of files any other way it takes hours.
