IE Favorites...

[bvbman5570]

Okay, I'm making an internet browser in VC++ 2008, and I would like to have it so the user can press the "Favorites" button in my browser, and get a list of favorites from Internet Explorer, FireFox, or what ever browser they are using...

Firefox has an example of this. When you first install, it asks if you want to import favorites from wherever. Favorites are held in (I would think) configuration files. Just parse them and grab them specifically for each browser. Windows might have some functions with it to help you with this, I don't know.

I think IE stores your favourites as links in a "Favourites" folder. A registry key (something like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ is likely) probably says where that is.
