Can anybody figure out a way to delete these obnoxious Datek banner ads from SI? Maybe using Browsemaster? Please pm me if you have a hack for this. Rick

How do I do this ... >> I copy the whole bunch to a HTML file<< My favourites are stored as file in C:\WINDOWS\FAVORI~1\.URL (DOS 8.3) or "C:\Windows\Favourites\.URL" using long filename support. I use DOS copy to append the whole mess into one big text file. COPY *.URL BIG_MESS.URL This file will have all my URLs, plus some extra garbage like "[Internet Shortcut] and stuff like 'Modified' and 'Accessed' dates. I just use a text editor to get rid of the stuff and turn what's left into HTML. I think an example will help My favorite in the file ... "C:\Windows\Favorites\HEREITIS.URL" contains the following ... [InternetShortcut] URL=http://here_it_is.com/&Modified=609ACBE64796BE0147 I change this to ... <A HREF="http://here_it_is.com"> Here</A>, It Is. I add this line to my .HTM file and if I click on 'Here', I'll be taken to the 'here_it_is' URL. I've only used one URL here, but you could just as easily edit a hundred using search and replace options available with most editors. Note: I recently 'blended' my favorites so I had to make up one for this example. Cheers, PW. When I finished the earlier post, I wondered if anyone would ask 'HOW.' P.S. When done, the thing looks like this ... [I just Cut & Pasted a chunk from one of my .HTM files.
