Now my favorite web sites dont get overwritten

All,

I found a great program for favorite websites called just urls.

One feature I really love is that is that I can open the favorite web site
in a new
browser if I want.

Regular favorites dont do that, they overwrite the site I was looking at.
(Which has annoyed me for a long time as I switch between
favorites....)

I got it from http://justurls.com

First I thought it was a bit simple - but then it grew on me - I guess I got
adicted!

I bought it, and now my favorites are getting organised at last. I love it!

This is lo-carb browsing indeed!

All you have to do in Internet Explorer to get URLs to open in a new window
is click on Tools, Internet Options, Advanced and uncheck Reuse windows for
launching shortcuts.

Hi,

I tried that and favorites still don't open in a new window (only my mess of
shortcuts work that way). I'm sticking with this new program.

Its neat. I have my right tray clik set to Google and boy is that handy!

Yours,
Felix

All you need to do is to move to Mozilla Firefox and all your problems are
solved. The only thing I miss in Internet Explorer is the page search highlight
facilities available on the Google Toolbar, which isn't really part of IE
anyway! In Firefox you can choose to have your History or Bookmarks (equiv to
Favorites) opened up as a list on your left hand side of the screen, and you can
right click to open your favorite page in a new tag or in a new window. The
urls program you recommended seems v similar to some utilities I used back in
the days when I was running OS8 on an G3 and OS7 on a PowerBook 520c...

The Google tool bar is even handier. Has a great popup killer and a handy
autofill.

I second the Firefox recommendation. I only recently started using the
TAB feature of it rather than opening new windows for things -- that way
I have several different web pages up that are easy to access just by
clicking a tab for it and I don't have to chase all over my screen or
Windows taskbar to find them because they all use the same space at the
same time. I also like the Personal Toolbar (a bar across the top with
the links I like the most). Between the personal toolbar and the pop-up
blocker I'm pretty happy with it. I only use IE when I have use Windows
Update (no choice in the matter) or on other rare pages that pretty much
REQUIRE you to use IE to see it properly. BTW, pretty much ALL browsers
have an autofill feature -- you just have to set it in the
tools/preferences area.

Opera (www.opera.com) also operates this way. I only use IE when I
absolutely have to use it.

Thanks for the suggestions but guys, I use this cute program for other
reasons as well.

It is less clicking to get where I want to go. I have set the buttont text
(font) different on my important favorites and can locate them quicker than
I can blink.

Thanks,
Felix
