Hi...I have MSN 9 as my Internet service and E-mail program. Would I be able to backup the "My Favorites' folder using AISBackup? I have a very large number of bookmarked and favorite webpages that I don't want to take a chance on losing.

MSN favourites are stored in a file called favorites.xml, it is probably best to store all your MSN settings. These can be found under the folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\MSN6\UserData\<GUID>

On this PC my MSN settings are under:

C:\Documents and Settings\Barry\Application Data\MSN6\UserData\{95021830-2895-01C5-0300-0000FF195943}

The 'My Favorites' folder is not used by MSN (Except for the 'Import favorites from Internet Explorer' option), but I recommend that you backup that folder too.
