Yo! I'm alive!

I love this keyboard.

I love Iomega tech support.

But speaking of it being easy to transfer faves, as you were...

As you know (more about than you and everyone else including me wishes to), I saved IE faves and lots of other stuff on zip disks and floppies.

Only to learn that my new Gateway computer had no zip drive.

So I bought that external one. I had many adventures today relating to that, resulting in my deep love for Iomega tech support.

But anyway, now the zip drive is working fine, and when i put in the saved Faves zip, there they are. I can see them, and go where I want by opening and clicking on them.

I figured that at this point, i'd save them to my hard drive. With "Send to..."

But here is the thing:

When via My Computer i open the zip, and right click the folders, and click on Send to, the options offered are

Zip
Floppy A
Compressed Folder
Desktop as a shortcut
Mail Recipient
My Briefcase
My Documents

I can see that I can rebuild my Favorites from scratch as I had them before, creating the same categories, and one at a time go the the URLs and bookmark them...

but that's kind of inefficient.

Can anyone tell me what i'm misunderstanding?
