• AttrMenu
• ExecParm
• ClipName
• MSN Favorites Export Toolkit

AttrMenu is a Windows Explorer Context Menu extension allowing direct access to a file's attributes. Much easier than using the Properties dialog box.

ExecParm is another Context Menu extension for Windows Explorer. It allows you to run a program with parameters on the command line. Seems useless? Without ExecParm you'll have to go to the Start | Run... menu, remember the path for the executable and then enter the command line parameters. You'll see, ExecParm is much simpler, especially when used in conjunction with Clipname.

ClipName is also a Context Menu extension copying the full pathname of the right-clicked file to the clipboard. This new version supports copy of multiple filenames either as a space separated list or as a CRLF separated list. DOS filenames (8.3) can now also be copied as well as the URL encoded name and the UNC name for remote files. Clipname supports a Copy command for filenames without including any path, URL Encoding for multiple selections and <WORD> style encoding for Microsoft Word, Microsoft OneNote,... A version running under Windows Vista 64-bit is now available. It also allows to copy the UNC name for local files and folders. Version 1.3 adds the capability of copying the target URL for Internet Shortcuts from Windows Explorer and from within the IE Favorites bar.

Oddly enough, Internet Explorer cannot import your MSN Explorer favorites. This toolkit does the job by transforming the MSN favorites file (favorites.xml) into a Netscape favorites file (bookmark.htm) that is (ironically) suitable for import into IE.

NB: There's now another solution to this problem: import your MSN favorites in Windows Live Favorites and export them to IE.

If you don't find favorites.xml on your system:

This file is generally marked as hidden / system. Please set the Search options accordingly when using Windows Explorer to locate this file. It is usually located in C:\Documents and Settings\ \Application Data\MSNx\UserData\{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx}, x being replaced with different digits depending on your configuration.

If you still don't find favorites.xml, proceed as follows:

• Go to the Start | Programs | Accessories menu and open the Command Prompt window.
• Make sure you are in the root folder (c:\ - otherwise, execute the following command: cd \).
• Enter the following command: c:\>attrib /s favorites.xml . If this file exists on your disk, attrib will find it and tell you where it is.

Occasionally, the XSL transformation of the MSN XML document may fail. This might be due to special characters not being processed correctly by MSXML. The readme file contains instructions about how to handle this issue. If you still encounter such difficulties, please e-mail us your favorites.xml file. The process may also fail if you have an older version of MSXML, in which case you should update it.

Download and install either Microsoft XML Parser 3.0 SP 4 or Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (preferred choice).
