.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / January 2008Writing to Favorites (IE) from aspnet
I would like to be able to build a set of folders and links in the browser (IE 6+) "favorites" to create semi-static lists of links configured to the users profile and preferences. I haven't worked with controling browsers so I'm looking for a place to start. BTW - I'd like to keep as much server side as possible. Thnx I am pretty sure it is impossible without special security provisions on client side. Imagine what can happen if any every will modify your favorites as they wish.

I'm in a semi-closed environment, so limited permission changes could be allowed. What about the route like the message you get at the top of your browser pane that says "do you want to allow...". Could that be used to open a hole to the browser oblects? >I am pretty sure it is impossible without special security provisions on >client side.

Thnx Yes, it can be done with WSH (Windows Sripting Host) SpecialFolders. Favorites is one of the special folders. Google for something like "SpecialFolders wsh favorites" for more info. All this, of course, is on client side. All server side can do is just to emit the script text to the client. And you can ask the user to setup security to allow running WSH scripts for your site with no prompt.

Thnx Thanks, "Special Folders" brings up a few places to get started. This should do what I need. > Yes, it can be done with WSH (Windows Sripting Host) SpecialFolders. > Favorites is one of the special folders.
