Preserve history from IE6

[Davor]

I am going to reinstall windows on one machine and have to preserve the history of IE6 of some user account.

What's the best way to do so?

(It's not possible to just copy the history folder from the previous installation to the new one, as I already have tried that. Seems it's more complicated.)

I also looked for info on internet without success.

Please reply only if you certainly know what you are talking about or you have already tested 'your procedure'. And please no why questions ...

do you mean IE6 or IW7 as you title is one, but your request is for another?

i'm going to assume it is very similar for both and IE6 uses this to back up cookies & favourites;

open ie6

clcik file

click import and export

follow on-screen prompts

not sure you can backup the history

Sorry, it's IE6 i am talking about (it's corrected now).

I wasn't aware of the export/import capability of IE6, thank you for that tip.

Still, my main concern is preserving the history. Think it's strange this issue isn't so common. I expected an immediate answer

I'll also try the MS newsgroups...
