If you are using Firefox, go to "Bookmarks" in the upper toolbar and choose "Organize bookmarks" (Ctrl+Shift+B). In the opened window "Library", click on "Import and Backup" at the top and "Export HTML" later. Firefox keeps your bookmarks as an html-file. It is highly recommended to store the file on the local disk other than C.
Internet Explorer requires the assistance of a Wizard menu. Go to "File" on the top toolbar and choose "Import and Export". Then, choose an action "Export Favorites" and the location you want to export bookmarks from. At the end, you have the same html-file as in Firefox.
