Where can I copy my Links/Favorites from another XP computer to a computer
running Vista so the Links in IE7 on the vista machine will show my favorite
links?

I have not seen TweayUI for vista but is there one?

TIA

If you have the computers networked syncback will enable you to synchronize
the favourites folder

Is there no way to just copy the folder somewhere in the vista computer?

My computers on my LAN share the favorites folder on my main PC so favorites
on any PC are always the same. Only downfall is my main PC has to be on if I
am browsing and need a link but my main PC is almost always on so it's no
big deal.

Sounds like you're perfect candidate for something like Windows Home Server.

Why not just export them from your XP machine and import them to your other
PC?

Just got used to copying the files between 2 XP machines and replacing the
old folder.

With import don't you wind up with duplicates?
