Does anyone now where i can find IEs favorites folder in OSX 10.2.1.

I cant find it but i know that it has *.url files. Finder cant find them either.

I think microsoft has buried them deep in the OS to stop people editing them but i want to bring my old ones over from my PC.

them to your desktop? its under the file menu

Unless you're living in the U.S.A. and then, it's the odd spelling: favorites. 😀
