Reading a bunch of urls into Word or Excel

[Opinicus]

I want to read all the urls (names and links) in one of my Internet Explorer
Favorites folders into a Word document or Excel spreadsheet. There are
hundreds of urls so doing it by hand is tedious and prone to error. I've
tried dir /b > dir.txt from a command prompt, which gives me a list of the
urls' names but doesn't give me the links.

Is there a simple way to do what I want?

At the command prompt do this little trick,

Copy *.url urlinfo.txt

You will have a text file with all the information contained in the
"shortcuts"

You can then sort the lines as you wish and the main "url" is on a line
called "BASEURL>"

Enjoy

Very, very nifty tip. Thanks Bob.
