addresses able to lead to the www.name.ext
Once we have selected the folder the script read the directory searching for any url or website launchable.


I don't know how difficult this is, but I have two scripts doing the launching from a txt file.
That is : instead of read the directory , read the txt file line by line selecting and launching the websites.

Both scripts have the ability to launch slow or more fast the links .

Ayssss. To be a programmer must be like to have the heaven....

I have tried to get this several times in the past 4wd.
A limited aproximation is Miles Ahead software URLPack. Use a single folder where we put the url's

BrowserBunch is other of the aproximations of Miles. I have several programs able to read url's from a txt file.
So if you are able to collect the urls from the folder to a txt file we can use it.....

But the most difficult experience was in Computer Hope where they offer me a bat file able to launch everything in the desktop.
The disaster was full.... :-[

I have a compiled program : LinkFolder to create registers or links in my CRM Goldmine 5.5.
Is made in autoit and read a folder - all types of files - and link to my CRM. Even gives option to change names of the files as registers in Goldmine.

What i am asking for now is more simple.

But nobody has a tool specific like that.

Everyday I make questions everywhere - you know me....  :-*- and take the url's into the day folder.....

Of course i use url groups with firefox, but are not so simple and powerful like the "old" windows explorer folder.

I can use from any browser. It's simple and have future with the next windows 12 and so on....

To Install:
1) Extract
2) Copy folder to C:\
3) Double-click OpenURLs_Install.reg and answer Yes/OK for following requesters

It'll open any .url file in the folder with your default browser, one URL every three seconds.

To Remove:
1) Double-click OpenURLs_Remove.reg and answer Yes/OK for following requesters
2) Delete folder (unless you have something else in there, in which case don't)

Updated: Add to Folder background context menu
             Change codepage to 28591, (ISO 8859-1 Latin 1; Western European (ISO))
Updated: Change codepage to 1252, (ANSI)

I am here again.
Seems in relation to a point or the name of the shortcut :

This is the screenshot with my error :

Windows no puede encontrar el archivo = Windows can't find the file
Asegúrese de que el nombre esté escrito correctamente e inténtelo de nuevo = Assure the name file is correct and try again.

Goes well launching from the folder or from within the folder. Wonderful !!!!!

Besides the program warning me if the complicated website fails.

Zip up the .url file and attach it so I can see what codepage will work.  Otherwise rename it.
