Believe me I have looked at this in every which way. The most simplist way to do it (and really the only way I can figure out that works) is open the page in AOL, copy the address into IE and then put it in your favorites. This is the only way I can figure it out, and I use aol and thought of the same thing. Sorry, it is time-consuming if you have a lot of them :-(.

What I did was set my AOL up with outlook express. We can do that now at keyword open mail access. Then I just dragged all the favorite links into AOL mail and sent them to myself but opened the mail in outlook express and added them to IE that way. Also I sent some links to myself from AOL but opened them in incredimail and I can save to IE that way. Probably about the same as doing the copy and paste of each addess. Here is a link to some other ways to get them into IE I found but I have not tried these.

I also send my favs to myself in emails. I found that some of the sites I go to where I am registered won't accept my sn and pw on IE. I have had to reregister.

It's nice now that AOL is compatible with outlook, enduora, incrediamil and such programs. I don't see why you would want to use it with outlook or the other ones but incredimail is fun.
