Just installing URL Links on IE

jberrebi · 15th June 2006, 09:46

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to have an installer with only one function:

To install a Bookmarklet (Shorcut with a javascript code) in the IE Links Toolbar.

Since the last IE6 update, it is impossible to install a bookmarklet using a drag n drop without doing Security modifications...

That's why Delicious for example have launched a small installer to do that on IE

Can you help me ?

Thanks in advance
Jeremie

You could try creating shortcuts with CreateShortcut or WriteINIStr into a .lnk file and save them in $FAVORITES\Links. But nothing can promise you that Links would stay with the same name across versions and languages of Windows.

name of links folder is stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\LinksFolderName

I would be grateful if anyone could let me know of how to place a bookmark first in the LINKS TOOLBAR of IE.

Placing the bookmark could be done by writing .url file under "Favorites\Links" folder.

But I wanted to know if at all the Bookmark created could be placed first in the list.
