Re: TECH: saving address book/favorites

[Russell Smith <russell@RUSTYSMITH.COM>]

 >I want to save my address book and favorites (bookmarks) so I will
have them when I quit using AOL.

  For Favorites pull down File to Import and Export and follow the
wizard. Or open Windows Explorer, Go to C:\Windows\Favorites  (Windows
9X and Me) or C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Favorites (Windows 2000
and XP).

Right Click the Favorites folder. Choose Send To 3.5 Floppy (A). If it's
too big for floppy copy it to a network folder or Zip disk.

The AOL 5 Address Book is proprietary and I don't know of any easy
computer conversion tools.

If you're moving to Outlook Express then you might try to create a AOL
message with as many addresses as it will hold on the To: line.
Highlight, Copy the line of addresses and open a new Outlook Express
message window, and paste the line in.

Doubleclick each entry to get the dialog for "Add to address book"

HTH,
