      I accidentally deleted some important bookmarks from Google Chrome browser. I somehow managed to retrieve them as a text file. I opened the file in Notepad++ and I saved it as .html so that I could import it in Google Chrome. However the file was saved as a text file. What should I do to save it as an html file?

        What should I do to save it as an html file?

        I assume learning html coding?
        Just giving a file an different extension doesn’t mean it changes its content magically. As I don’t use chrome I can’t say what exactly needs to be done in order
        to reimport the lost bookmarks.

          How you saved your Google Chrome bookmarks?
          Through the import of bookmarks?

            If you saved the file:
            \AppData\Local\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks
            That is not html … this is json file without extension

              Check file availability:
              \AppData\Local\Chrome\User Data\Default\Bookmarks.bak
              This is a backup of your bookmarks.
              Just delete the extension from this file!

                Guys thank you all for your replies.

                What if I sent you the file itself? Who would be kind enough to convert it to html so that I could import it in Chrome?
                I’t s a text file and it is 2.276 KB. I honestly don’ t remember how exactly I managed to extract the file.
                I had accidentally erased these bookmarks from my desktop. There was nothing I could do from there.
                What I did is I stopped. the syncing and I went to my laptop in which I turned the wifi off.
                Where should I send the file?

                  Sorry but nobody wants your file. You apparently have a “file content” problem and not a Notepad++ problem. This forum is about Notepad++, not a file’s contents.
