how to migrate favorites from one msn email account to another
Latest post: ced, Thursday, May 17, 2012 11:38 AM
I set up a new msn email address and want to move favorites from a different msn email address on the same pc.  I tried running the "getattachment.hta"  but nothing migrated.  Any ideas?

Paolo M. -I guess I'm getting closer, but still not enough information for me to do this.  I ran the REGEDIT and found the GUID value for the old account.  But I do not understand what to do next to find the favorites.xml file.   I am running XP.  Do I now go to Windows explorer?  I did and found C:\document and settings\but under this I have only 2 folders "all users" and "owner" All users\application data   <== does not have an MSN6 folderOwner\application data  <== has an MSN6 folder but here there is only one folder "Watson Reporting" and 4 other files au.ini, msndyn,ini, msnplog.xml and OLTS.datSo, I do not know what to do with the GUID value.
