If you use IE6 and have the sites saved in favorites go to this link and read activities 8 & 9.

The favorites file should fit on a floppy so make sure your disk is drive A:

For Firefox see this link and click on item 5.

Try rjhsoftware.com for a freeware item called "rjh extensions".  It allows you to save a directory list or file path to anywhere you choose.  (including the printer!!)  I've used it at home for years - simple and excellent.  Unfortunately, at work, my PC won't let me install anything! so I have to revert to the print screen key (which puts the current screen on the clipboard) and then paste into Wordpad, finally printing ar saving this elsewhere as a file.  Pathetic, but isn't it time Mr Gates gave us some of these facilities in his eXtremely Patronising operating system??

In IE6 goto >FILE>IMPORT AND EXPORT> using the wizard gives you the option to save your favourites to a file which can easily be put on a floppy .
