- Convert Explorer Favorites to HTML Document
-
- Feel free to use these apps as you wish. It might be nice if you left
- the credits in it.
-
- This one's for Microsoft's Internet Explorer. It will convert your
- Favorites directory into an HTML document which you can give to others
- or use as a start page. Basically a port of my Rexx script, although
- I've now added more features to the class than the REXX script. The
- latest of which use the Dynamic HTML features of Explorer 4.0.
-
- Create a directory and unzip the class there.
-
- To use the command enter the following in a command window in the
- directory where you saved the class:
-
- jview favorite path > save.html
-
- Where Path is the location of your Favorites directory e.g.
- c:\Windows\Favorites and save.html is the name and location of the
- resulting document.
-
- Load the file created into Internet Explorer to see the results.
-
- Alternatively, if you are running an HTTP Server, place JVIEW.EXE and
- the Favorite.class in your Scripts or cgi-bin directory and use the
- following url:
-
- http://localhost/scripts/jview.exe?Favorite+c:\Windows\Favorites
-
- This should work with Microsoft's Personal Web Server with the default
- setup. For the correct appearance of the resulting document, the gif
- icons need to be placed in an \icons directory.
-
- ** Now added a HTML Application front end. Just run Favorite.hta, edit
- the default file names, then click the "Save" button to create the
- html file..
