Hi all,
Has anyone come across a tool or method to verify good/bad address entries contained in the Favorites file? Whenever I come across a bad or changed link I take care of it, but ... it'd be nice if there was a way to auto-check the validity of each entry. Thanks in Advance, Pop` |

Not that I'm aware of, but URLs and Favorites would be an Internet Explorer
issue. For Internet Explorer questions not pertaining to Outlook Express, please post to one of the following: IE6 Specific Newsgroup: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...er.ie6.browser IE General newsgroup, (For IE6 and IE7): news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...plorer.general -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Poprivet" wrote in message ...

Darn, I thought that was going to be a good solution, but as soon as it gets to ten or twenty sites checked, everything going further becomes an "error", but isn't. Somehow, it puts XP Pro's IE7 into a mode where it refuses to work anymore. In my case, I had to reboot to get it back. So, I guess the moral of the story is; probably a great prog, but not for IE7, including when "internal" is chosen (as is default) for doing the checks. Thanks anyway, Pop` |
