But looks like no luck. :-( I would really like an "URL check utility" that would automatically scan though my "Favo[u]rites" and test them to see if they still work; but I'm a bit too paranoid to try one just because some bloke I don't know a thing about says "use this"! I suppose someone has to do it first, but I'll leave that testing to those who have machines dedicated to such risky behaviour. The main features of a useful URL checker would be: 1. Test all links in the Favorites/Bookmarks collection automatically. 2. List all that are "broken" (perhaps with some diagnosis?) with options to delete them as a group or separately. 3. List all duplicate links (i.e. where the actual URL is referred to under different names and/or is stored in different folders) with a convenient set of options to tidy things up.
