basically you just reverse the process from copying the files to the flash drive . Quite a few ways to move files -
You can do the 2 window approach and drag and drop into the correct location.
Or you can highlight the file & right click - send to or copy & paste
Or you can highlight the file - then go up to the Menu bar & select Copy to Folder and then a box will open up with a list of places - you select the place and off it goes.


wherever you got the favorites or any file from that's where they would go back on the new computer.
I usually do a backup of my bookmarks /favorites and save it in My documents - so that is probably where to put Alans stuff.
So I should put Alan's stuff in the My Documents folder on the new computer? Alan uses Mozilla, so I gather if the new computer does not come with Mozilla, but comes with IE, then I would go on IE, go to Mozilla, download Firefox, and then (see, this is where i get confused).

Once I know I have Mozilla on my computer, Alan will want to see all his favorite places. So I gather that if I did what you said I would go to My Documents, find the folder named Alan's Favorites (it's a folder, right?) and then I would double click on it and it would prompt me to open with something and then I choose Mozilla Firefox?

Did I get this part right?

Good Lord, one would think I know how to do this but I don't.

Thanks, Melody

P.S. One more question.

Can't I get the new computer, download Firefox, then insert the Flash drive, find Alan's favorites, click on it, and it would prompt me to open it using SOMETHING?? Is that when I could choose Mozilla?

Do I have anything right here?

lol
Thanks
