Hi,
I am building a desktop application and i want to access my Internet
Explorer Favourites from this desktop application. How should i go
about solving this problem ? I even don't know how to attack this
problem and from where to start.
Any help and advice will be appreciated. Please enlighten me.

Hi,

Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.Favorites ) will get
you the favorite folder
each file is a shortcut file, so you will need to get the structure of it.

cheers,
