Bookmarked URLs are the cyber equivalent of business cards you never get around to filing. Fortunately, several shareware and freeware utilities let you arrange shortcuts to Web pages in convenient folders on your desktop. In addition, these utilities can convert Internet Explorer "Favorites" into Communicator Bookmarks (and vice versa), and let you view some sites with one browser and others with a different browser.

My favourite is QuikLink Explorer by QuikLink Interactive. One click loads your preferred browser and the Web page. QuikLink (www.quiklinks.com) comes as freeware or as $US20 shareware; a fancier $US40 version supports FTP software.

Thomas Reimann has created the free program Linkman (available on our cover CD and at www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/solo/177/linkman.htm), which lets you import, organise, and copy and paste bookmarks. It also tracks all the Web pages you visit in case you decide to bookmark any of them later.
