Hi A. Madeira,     (email sent  2004-02-11)

Your "IE Favorites Check (IEFC)"  was mentioned in LockerGnome's
   http://channels.lockergnome.com/windows/backissues/20040209.phtml
to obtain at
   http://secure.sintraweb.net/public/soft/iefc/index.htm

Great job,  very similar to another program that was also  mentioned in LockerGnome
that checks a web page.

You provide nice
   ESC  to see what the error means, not intuitive (see comment notes)
   Right click to correct Favorites,  but is not documented in help
   Double click to open file,  (see comment notes)
   ** see comment notes  later on *HELP*

Selecting a row or a range of rows must be done from the status column
   - not intuitive,  unless they had row numbers then it would look like Excel
     I guess there must be a reason because one must click on the wording within
     the status column as if it were a hyperlink.

Your IEFC is missing the ability to put the table into a spread sheet
    --  Create a   .csv  file,   would be the simplest to implement
         This was my primary need before I realized what your program could do
         but it is still be useful  (include all columns including pathname).
         The HTML format is not useful to me to looks nice, but does not substitute for a spreadsheet..

Also would like to see *additional columns* at the end
    -- Sequence number column, so table can be restored (sorted) to it's original order.

Other additional columns wanted are covered in the   Pathname column
    which is present but is hidden.   I think it should be documented.   Then I
    would not have even thought of asking for:  (obviously you it to update/delete/retry)
    -- Level Number of Directory within Favorites
       ** don't need after all is covered by (undocumented hidden column)  pathname
    -- Name of 1st level directory within Favorites if not same as folder
       ** don't need after all is covered by (undocumented hidden column)  pathname

Right-click on status  (additions)
    --  Check URL in the wayback machine
         http://web.archive.org/web/*/http:<old site here>
         http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/1128/insidecf.html
        The wayback machine can old page content  that can be searched on,
         it might even indicate what the new page is.
    --  Check Title in Google
         If you do a search in Google for the Title you may come up with the
         same invalid url,  but look in the cache for old page content that can be
         searched on -- this is where you will find such
         things as  web page title,  author, description and additional things to
         do another Google search and possibly find the current url.
    --  Copy URL to clipboard
         ** it would be nice to be able to directly
             copy  title  and the url  to the clipboard for Google searches at
             http://www.google.com/advanced_search?lr=lang_en
             http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?num=100.

Help 
   -- Extend  "Quick Start"  to include the other columns including hidden Pathname
 
   -- Update   "Using the Program"  and I would like to see mouse button use as 
      a separate sub-topic within "Using the Program".
       **   put    Esc key   on status column  into boldface
       **   put   double-click  on status column in boldface  (appears twice)
       **   include  use of  right-click  on the status column (and put right-click in boldface)
             though don't really know why each of these is actually limited to status column.

It is the  right-click that is most important in correcting entries, based on
checking  Google web search, Google Groups,  the Wayback machine, and 
starting over from the root directories of a website.
root directories of bad entries.
