3800 How to copy favorite's list / address book?

[98GTPDriva]

I bought my parent's a new desktop for Christmas and I would like to get everything preinstalled so it is merely plug 'n' play when they open it. How can I copy their favorite's list and address book onto this new PC without losing anything? We currently use SBC Yahoo! DSL too.

TIA!

the favorites list is in c:\documents and settings\profile name\favorites
also dont forget to copy the \my documents folder, and the \desktop folder from c:\documents and settings\profile name\

the address book is a bit more difficlut, depending on what email program is used. typically for outlook/outlook express, it could be in a .pab or .wab file, search for those.

Usually when you buy a new pc it comes with some sort of software that does all of this for you. Maybe you have it and dont know??
