How to backup your Internet Explorer settings


There are a couple of good reasons to backup your web browser settings periodically. If you want to install the browser on another computer, you can use that backup to restore your settings, history, bookmarks and other data. Or if something goes wrong with your browser on your current computer, that backup can be a life saver.

There are several good utilities for making backups of Firefox profiles. And there's at least one utility for backing up your Opera data. But what about Internet Explorer? For that, there's the creatively named Internet Explorer Backup.

Internet Explorer Backup is available as a free download.
