Status: offline 		How can I use VBScript, JavaScript or JScript to automatically add a bookmark in a user's favorites in IE 5.x without popping up the add favorites dialog box?

In other words, without using the following code...

window.external.addfavorte "http...","yahoo"

Is there another way? Thanks!

- Mark

Browser 'hijacking' / 'manipulating' is not done!

But if you do need one (i.e. you are using HTA and would like to have the users have a shortcut i.e. on their Dekstop) you could create a shortcut to the location.href, using VBScript...

You could Search our site for examples of Shortcut creation...

C:\Documents and Settings\(put your username here)\Favorites


If you want to add a shortcut do a create internet shortcut.
Folders? - make a new folder then drop what you want into it!
