SYMPTOMS
When you install Internet Explorer over a browser program other than
Netscape Navigator or an earlier version of Internet Explorer,
your favorites may not be imported into Internet Explorer's Favorites
folder.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Internet Explorer only imports favorites (or
Navigator bookmarks) from Netscape Navigator or earlier versions of
Internet Explorer.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, you must manually re-create your favorites list. To
do so, start Internet Explorer, navigate to a Web site you want to add to
your favorites list, and then click Add To Favorites on the Favorites
menu.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
