IE Address Links

[Kjaa]

Hi,

I was wondering how to "extract" the address links from the address bar? If you get my

So just in case i will show it here,: Addresslist.

If anyone got some idears please feel free to write And i mean this is possible, think i have done it once before, i just can't remember!

Do you mean you want to do this programmatically, for example, with JavaScript? Or do you simply want to back up your history?

If the former, I doubt this could easily be done cross-browser due to massive security issues (think about it for a minute).

If the latter, this would depend on the browser in question.

The thing is that i need if possible the same address linkes moved to another computer, so i mean that they should be stored somewere on my computer like Favorites can be moved easy i think i have moved the address linkes to once, but i just can't remember it! Maybe there are stored in a catch file?

Have a peek in the registry at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

Hey Smah,

I did find the location you wrote, and it works in some part. But i got many more sites on the computer if i export the reg file, i only get the ones that stand in the reg, and thats only 25 out of maybe 100+ but are then not stored somewhere on the computer, like temp files fx?

Since IE6 doesn't use 'suggestions' for the address bar autocomplete, all the remaining addresses are assembled from IE's history. You'll need a third party utility to get at them easily. Something like this should collect most of them

Smah okay i will try that program, but i just thought there were an easier way, without using any third party utility.
