Favorites Cleaner - By Steven Wettberg

FavCleaner lets you validate the bookmarked pages in your personal 'Favorites' folder in Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater. The program lets you validate all of your favorites entries or you may run them one at a time, the program is not multi-threaded (I plan to multithread in the next release) so validating all links does take a while. The links that are not valid are displayed in the 'Dead Links' list, you may then choose to 'Move Dead Links'. Upon executing the 'Move' option the program will have you select a destination folder, the links and corresponding directory structure will be placed here, you can then delete them at your own discretion.

Setup -

1. Place the all of the files from the ZIP file into one directory. I don't care which directory so you may place them anywhere you like.
2. Navigate to that directory and double click the 'FavCLeaner.exe' program.
3. The next steps are optional, you do not have to add the program to the IE toolbar.Within this program; select 'Edit/Add button to IE Toolbar'.
4. You may now exit Favorites Cleaner.
5. Start Internet Explorer.
6. If you see a toolbar icon titled 'Validate' then the setup is complete. You may also run FavCLeaner in the future via Internet Explorers 'Tools/Validate Favorites' menu item. Iif you do not see the toolbar icon then proceed to step 7.
7. This means you had previously customized the toolbar (and must do so again). Within Internet Explorer select the menu items   'View/Toolbars/Customize', you will see an item available called 'Validate', simply add this item and you're finished.
