- What is CopyURL?
- ================
-
- CopyURL is little FREEWARE shell extension for Windows95/NT4 that helps
- you to copy different information from your Internet Shortcut files
- to clipboard. Then you can simply paste it from clipboard to your
- e-mails, HTML editor or other documents. It adds commands Copy URL,
- Copy Link and Copy Name to the context-menu of Internet Shortcut files.
- Internet Shortcut files are used mainly by Microsoft's Internet
- Explorer web browser and are collected into your Favorites folder.
- If you use Netscape's Navigator to browse web, then you will find
- little help from CopyURL.
-
- For example, if you have a shortcut named AudioNet that points to
- http://www.audionet.com, you'll get the following results:
-
- "Copy URL" command copies the URL the shortcut points to, like:
- http://www.audionet.com
-
- "Copy Link" command copies link so that you can paste it easily to
- your HTML editor:
- <A HREF="http://www.audionet.com">AudioNet</A>
-
- "Copy Name" command copies both name and URL, so it's simple to paste
- them to documents:
- AudioNet: http://www.audionet.com
-
- Please note that one powerful feature of CopyURL is that you can make
- a list of copied items. For this you must select multiple shortcuts
- you're interested and then choose your command from contect-menu.
- CopyURL then copies a list of URLs of selected files to clipboard.
-
-
- Installation
- ============
-
- 1) Unzip CopyURL.exe and CopyURL.inf files to a temporary folder.
-
- 2) Right-click on CopyURL.inf file and choose Install from the popup
- menu. This will copy these 2 files to your Windows\System\ShellExt
- folder and adds required setting to the registry. It also adds
- entry for uninstalling it to Control Panel Add/Remove Programs
- applet.
-
- 3) Now delete these 2 files from your temporary folder.
-
- 4) Test the installation by right-clicking on an Internet Shortcut
- file in your Favorites folder. If all is OK, you'll see 3
- additional commands in your context-menu of Internet Shortcut
- files.
-
-
- Uninstalling CopyURL
- --------------------
-
- 1) Open Control Panel.
-
- 2) Open Add/Remove Programs applet.
-
- 3) Find entry named "CopyURL shell extension" and double-click on it.
- CopyURL is removed and all settings from the registry are removed
- as well.

- History
- =======
-
- 2.20 (September 09, 1997)
- + Now actual text that will be copied to clipboard is displayed on Explorer
- status bar, if you highlight CopyURL menu items, so you see what exactly
- is copyed if you choose that menu item. This is also useful to see where
- the shortcut actually points to without opening it's properties page.

- + don't remember what I added, but this was probably useful ;-)
