Hi - I'd like to make all of my favorites accesible to me from anywhere - thus I'd like to convert them all to one HTML file and post that to my webspace. Does anybody know of an easy way to convert a folder full of favorites to a HTML file? Thanks!

You can do that???

Whoa. Cool.

What version of IE? I have over 12000 seperate URL files in an old directory, that I wouldn't mind "cleaning up" into a single .html file, since backing those seperate files up takes a while. Will IE properly handle recursive sub-directories too?

You mean IE doesn't store your Bookmarks in HTML?
That's kinda wack. Didn't it used to... it's been since IE4 or 5 that I've used IE, so excuse my ignorance. But I swear I had a bookmarks file in HTML then.
Mozilla/firefox bookmarks are native HTML, I thought it would have been the same for IE.

Only on the Mac AFAIK.

My version is 6.0 on Windows XP (SP2), but I remember this for older versions as well. Yes, it recursively goes through sub-directories as well.
