'''Internet Explorer favorites''' (Microsoft's name for what just about every other browser calls bookmarks) are stored under the Windows user directory in a subdirectory (folder) named '''Favorites''' (directly under the user home directory; its exact position in the hard-disk directory structure is system-specific; in Windows Vista it is '''\Users\''username''\Favorites'''). Within this directory is a hierarchy of subdirectories corresponding to the structure of the favorites themselves, which may be organized into folders in the browser. Each favorite item is a separate file within this structure, stored in [[Internet Shortcut]] format with a '''.url''' extension and a filename matching the title shown in the favorites list.

When you use the "export" feature in Internet Explorer to save your favorites, they are saved in [[Netscape bookmarks]] format in the filename '''bookmark.htm'''.
