Explorer with split personality?

Explorer with split personality?

Hi all --

My PC has two user accounts. On one of them, my Explorer (6.0.x) works just 
fine. On the other, I click on the Explorer icon and receive the message 
"Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close." When I 
click the radio button to send an error report, I get a repeat of the same 
message. 

Unfortunately the user account in which Explorer does NOT work is the one 
that gets all the use. I go to grad shool online and have dozens of research 
related Favorites which, if lost, could never be entirely reconstructed. So:
1) How do I troubleshoot Explorer on this account, or failing that
2) How do I move my Favorites list to a newly-created account from which 
(hopefully) Explorer WILL work?

Thanks in advance eversomuch for any/all suggestioms!

Re: Explorer with split personality?

2) Export your favorites to a single HTML file using IE-File-Export.
Import that file in the new account using IE-File-Import
