Hi,
I installed IE7 on my machine at work and it went very smoothly, and all of my favorites transferred over just fine. You should be able to do the same. You can download it here:

I also recommend reading through this article:

I wish you success.
I have IE 6.0 installed on my Windows XP computer right now. There is an article in today's New York Times (on the web) which states that IE 7.0 is available for downloading now. Can anyone tell me specifically how to download IE 7.0 and will such downloading mess up all the "Favorites" I have on my IE 6.0? Thank you very much.
