Favourites On Yahoo At Talk21.com

[doddsredoubt]

My next door neighbour has bought a new Asus laptop computer on Windows 8,she told me she was on Yahoo and talk21.com, but can't find out where her favourites are to put things into that are interesting to her.

Can anybody on theanswerbank help me please,it is driving her mad.

Thankyou for any help.

Does she have BT as internet provider? If not, then after mid-September, any non-BT talk21 person will have to pay c. £1.50 per month to continue using talk21. Not entirely relevant to your question, but hopefully useful info.

I'm rather lost because there's no mention of which browser your neighbour is using (or was using on her old computer). Yahoo! is primarily a search engine (like Google) but it also provides email services, etc. Talk21 was an ISP that's now part of BT. But it's web browsers that store favourites (or 'favorites' as Microsoft insists upon calling them, or 'bookmarks' as everyone else calls them) and you've not mentioned which one she's using!

As your neighbour has got Windows 8, I'll assume that she's using Internet Explorer 10 as her web browser (because that's what comes bundled with Windows 8). If she simply wants to create new 'favorites' then she needs the instructions here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites#ie=ie-10
However if she wants to get the favorites from her old computer onto her new one she'll have to export them from the old computer onto removable media (e.g.a USB memory stick) following the instructions here:

(I'm guessing that her old computer used Internet Explorer 8, which is covered in that article). Then she'll need to import them by using the instructions from my first link.
