use of 'favorites' information

[rickhart]

I now have hundreds of web sites in my 'favorites' folder, shown as the shortcut name / description, with link embedded.
Is there a way I can export all the addresses, but in their

http://www.

format? obviously I could do this one at a time, but has anyone come across a way of doing it all in one go?
thanks

This can be done very easily in Windows.

In Internet Explorer click on File>Import and Export, run the Wizard and export a favorites folder to a file named 'bookmark.htm' on your desktop.

Double click on this 'bookmark.htm' folder to open it in Internet Explorer. [at this point it is advisable to change the text size in IE to the smallest] [It's on the menu bar under View]

Go to File>Print. [Not the print button on the browser]

On the printer dialog screen that follows, down near the bottom there is a line that reads 'Print Table of Links' Put a tick in the box next to it then click OK.

You will now recieve Two printouts. The first will contain only the link names. The second will be a table with the Names and the associated URLs. It is the second list that you want. In order to save paper some printers have a setting that prints pages in reverse order, so you can print the second list then cancel the print job.

If you have hundreds of favorites this can use a lot of paper. Try it on a small folder first and see if this is what you want.
