It depends whether you are using Windows 3.x or Windows 95.

Microsoft has dubbed bookmarks "Favorites".  But, in Windows 3.x, near as I
can tell, the file is not FAVORITE.HTM, but HOTLIST.HTM.  As far as I can
tell in Windows 95, the Favorites are actually an entire folder:
C:\WINDOWS\FAVORITES.  Anything in that folder and under is mimicked in the
Favorites structure.

I hope this is clear.  If not, someone else who didn't just have a Web site
emergency happen can clarify it, I'm sure.
