How To Find Bookmarks.plist in Windows 8 and 7

Here is how to find bookmarks.plist on Windows 8, 7, and possibly Vista. Apple and Windows really hide this from users, so this guide will save you quite a bit of time.

  1. Access the "Run" command from the start menu. On Windows 8, put the mouse cursor in the lower-left hand corner of the screen, then double-click; select "Run."
  2. Type the following in the Run command line: %appdata%
  3. Hit enter.
  4. Find the "Apple Computer" file in the folder that pops up for you, courtesy of the Run command.
  5. Open "Apple Computer," then open "Safari"
  6. You will see "Bookmarks.plist" here. 
Bookmarks.plist contains your reading list and bookmarks info for Safari. Safari unfortunately does not allow easy moving around and management of the "reading list" feature. Possibly, you could just switch a new Safari installation's file with the old bookmarks.plist file you have, thus importing it like that.
