Is it possible to transfer my favourites from IE to a memory stick?
If not, What would be the fastest way to do this.

I am new to computers so any explanation would be appreciated.

Your favourites folder should be in the following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\ [user name]

Then simply copy and paste to your memory stick

Yes - I have them backed-up onto the stick.

Drive:\Documents And Settings\Your Name\Favourites (star icon) Send to: stick.

There's also portable Firefox - Firefox that runs from a removeavle media (like the stick) with all the favs on, etc.

Just to add in here.....

If you go to File, Import and Export you can select to save your Favourites to any location on your system, not just the Docments and Settings directory. You can also Import Favourites from any location.

You can also do it with Cookies, though I've not tried it!
