Favourites

[vescovo]

Morning

Couple of questions re. favourites in IE.

Firstly, is it possible to somehow export favourites to a CSV-type file?

Secondly, I've got hundreds of the things. Interested to see how other people categorise them because I can never find anything!

Cheers

You can do it via a batchfile:

cd C:\documents and settings\[username]\Favourites

dir/b >> c:\documents and settings\[username]\desktop\favourites.txt

[Plotloss]

This will create a list of the favourites you have.

Cool that's useful.

Is it possible to do that but to also get the actual URL for the page in the list as well?

[Plotloss]

I'm just trying to find out...

[Plotloss]

In IE

If you do File>Import and Export

Then select Export Favorites

Then Next

Then give the file to be created a name and location

Then Finish.

IE will now have created you a HTML page containing all your favourites.

Which I didnt know was there and is bloody handy...

(How's the VX by the way?)

Cool - I had no idea that the /b switch was in there. I often build file lists and have to strip off the extensions and other folder data.
