I've searched quite a bit for the answer to this question, and now I
turn to the experts.

Is there some way to see IE6's list of Favorites, which Netscape calls
bookmarks?  I want to get at the list of names or titles IE uses along
with each one's corresponding URL.

How can I extract or copy that list so that I can look at it and
manipulate it in, say, a word processor or just Notepad?

Thanks.

Favorites are yours not IEs. When surfing and you want to go back to a
favorite just click on 'favorites' on the top of IE and 'add' to favorites.
Then when you want to go back there click start---favorites--and select the
one you want.

Wow, did I ever explain myself wrong.

I'm familiar with how one adds, deletes, and moves around bookmarks in
IE.  What I want to do is get at the list in a file form so I can, as I
said, manipulate it in, say, Notepad, rather than having to copy all
those names and URLs.

For example, I believe it's possible to back up one's favorites, which
implies that some file exists or can be created.  Is there a known or
figure-outable location on my hard drive for that file?

Try right clicking on favorites and 'send to'.
