Hello,

Is there a Visual Basic script that can be written to export Internet Explorer Favorites to a bookmark.htm file?

Thanks.

Here's one that exports the favorites to a bookmark.htm file:

Const FAVOURITES = &H6&

Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(FAVOURITES)
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objBookMark = objFSO.CreateTextFile(".\bookmark.htm", 2)
objBookMark.WriteLine "<TITLE>Bookmarks</TITLE>"
objBookMark.WriteLine "<H1>Bookmarks</H1>"
objBookMark.WriteLine "<DL><p>"
For Each objItem in objFolder.Items
    If objItem.IsLink Then
        Set objLink = objItem.GetLink
        objBookMark.Write "<A HREF=""" & objLink.Target & """>" & objItem.Name & "</A></br>"
    End If
Next
objBookMark.WriteLine "</DL></p>"
objBookMark.Close

Hi

I know this is old, but this is exactly what I'm after.

The code that Salvador provided works perfectly... except it only exports .LNKs / URLs  in the Favorites root.

Is anyone able to provide a little more scripting information to create and preserve the .LNKs / URLs in subfolders please?

Many thanks, Phil
