There is a much simpler solution for this. On windows, you have the folder with the name of your computer. So mine says Kliphton. In this folder you have downloads, documents, an yes favorites. This is where your favorites folder can be copied from. Just enter the folder that has the name of your computer, find the favorites, control c to copy the folder, and then save it on your USB thumb drive or external drive which ever one you are using. This works, I have been doing it for almost 4 years. I have just gotten a MBP, but before that I was using a MacMini, and then a iMac. I still have to use windows for my business, so copying my favorites over was one of the thins I had to learn. HTH Kliphton
