That selection only allows me to write my favorites out to a file that's readable by Netscape. Also, the problem is that I've preserved the files from the old computer onto my new PC, but I've obliterated the old PC. I need to know the actual name of the file that has the bookmarks in it.

"I need to know the actual name of the file that has the bookmarks in it."

For Internet Explorer the file is a folder called "Favorites".
For 95/98 it was C:\windows\favorites.
For W2000/XP, the favorites folder is kept separately for each user, and is in:
c:\Documents and Settings\user name\Favorites.

If you copied your entire hard drive to a directory on the new one, you should be able to track down the folder. I am not sure if Netscape saves to the same place. Some of the Old versions of Netscape saved internally and were the devil to get out.
