How to import internet shortcuts?

I am setting up a new laptop after a HDD crash. I have copied across my Data, from a back up Ext HD. I have my old IE "favourites", saved in folders as "internet shortcuts", on my new C drive.
Please, how do I get those favourites / bookmarks into FireFox?
I have read elsewhere that I have to import them first into IE, but the method described seems to only allow import of one file at a time. I have c 600 bookmarks.
I am using Win7 Home Premium and Firefox 10.0.01. I have IE9 on this computer.
Thanks

If you have IE Favorites with a .url file extension then you need to copy those to the Favorites folder in your Windows user account to make IE see then and probably Firefox as well if you want to import IE favorites.
*C:\Users\<user>\Favorites
If you've used Firefox before and need to restore personal data from Firefox then also see:

How to import keyboard shortcuts from CS6 to CC?

Every time there's a new version I go through this trying to figure out where the keyboard shortcuts file lives and every time it's hell. This time I've been searching and searching and I can't find a way to do. Why is this so hard? Should this thing happen automacally or at least there could be an option for "import keyboard shortcuts." I can't really use the new Illustrator without my shortcuts. I've looked in the preferences in the Library and in the Applications folders. Any ideas?
Thanks,
~peter

Thanks, but I looked there and there's only the default .kys file, not the custom one I saved. I saved the custom keyboards shortcut file but I can't find it anywhere. I think the last time I had to do this it was in Library/Preferences/Application Shortcuts/Adobe or something like that but it's not anywhere it seesm.

How to import keyboard shortcuts into Flash 8 Pro?

Recently i upgraded my computer to Windows XP, so backed
everything up, reformatted and reinstall. The usual.
One thing i use very often in Flash is my own custom keyboard
shortcuts, which i found handy that you can export them.... however
a huge problem i just came across when reinstalling everything and
getting back into using Flash... I CANT IMPORT KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS?!
I cant seem to find this option anywhere, which is incredibly
annoying as you would expect along with a "Export set as HTML"
option for exporting your keyboard shortcuts.... but an option to
simply import them is nowhere to be found! I cant even find a
folder that i can put the html file i created with my keyboard
shortcuts.... Tried putting it everywhere in the Flash 8
directories.... and still doesnt show up.
Hell, photoshop isnt this confusing, just drop the file in
the Presets/Keyboard Shortcuts folder, and you're done! I dont see
this anywhere for Flash... even in the Local Settings/Application
Data folder where it STORES the shortcuts in its own WFX format!
Too much of a pain remembering all the key configs i had
setup... only option is to change em as i go along i guess, but
there HAS to be an easier way to do this!
Any idea?
*Edit* Ok, now i just realized my mistake... having seen
where the shortcuts are saved, i didnt think of looking for them
there earlier... so i didnt back that up. Arg!

if no shortcut works, try resetting your flash pro preferences:
Hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) or Shift+Command+Option (Mac) when starting flash pro.

Internet Shortcuts saved on Desktop open new instance of Firefox 3.6 using clean profile--how can I make it open all shortcuts using current profile?

I rely heavily on Firefox's profiling ability to assist me in my web design projects. Lately, using Firefox 3.6, I have run into some problems with how it opens Internet Shortcuts that are saved locally (i.e.- shortcuts that reside on my Desktop). When I double-click on one of these shortcuts, a new instance of Firefox 3.6 is loaded with the saved website from the shortcut, but it's also initialized a fresh profile (i.e.- my bookmarks are gone, no add-ons, etc.--it's as if it uses some sort of "hidden" clean slate to load the shortcuts).
Is there any way to force Firefox to load all shortcuts into whatever profile I'm currently using at that given moment? I think the reason this has happened to begin with is because of the fact that I did some stuff to Internet Explorer awhile back that caused some problems with the Internet Shortcut associations and it all led to this eventuality.
I'm running Windows XP Pro and have the following profiles with my Firefox versions:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3.6\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Firefox3.6
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox N\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p FirefoxN
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Firefox3
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 2\firefox.exe" --no-remote -p Firefox2
When I go into the "Folder Options / File Types" and double-click on "Internet Shortcut", I have the following within the "Advanced" settings (for the "open" action):
Action: open
Application used to perform action: rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l
"Use DDE" is checked...
"DDE Message" is blank...
"Application" is "shdocvw"...
"DDE Application Not Running" is blank...
"Topic" is "System"
Again, I think the root problem here is to do with the profiles and how they're handled when being opened with Firefox but I can't discern how to apply a fix with all this as I've obviously goobered this up a bit. I would really appreciate some professional knowledge on this and would prefer to avoid any reinstalls of anything if possible.

To save your sanity with this issue, my advice is to find a method other than desktop shortcuts to open those URL's.
1. Desktop shortcuts are going to open the Default Browser.
a. With multiple versions of Firefox installed that would be the last version that was installed when you have Firefox set as the Default Browser in Windows..
b. The Default Browser is going to use the Profile that shows a Default=1 in the profiles.ini file.
c. The Default Browser with the Default Profile isn't going to open if you have any other versions of Firefox already running, and the -no-remote command line parameter doesn't work in this situation.
2. The use of multiple Profiles and multiple versions isn't officially supported by Mozilla, and all the Bug reports that I have ever read about Requests for Enhancement have been WONTFIX'd by the developers. Basically we have to work with the limitations in Firefox and maybe improvise work arounds by ourselves. I've even seen a few threats about removing Profiles altogether in RFE Bug reports about Profiles.
I have had so many problems over the years with this Default Browser / Default Profile thing over the years that personally I find it easier to just set Opera as the Default Browser in Windows rather than have a Profile get b0rked because some other program I am using decides it wants to open the Default Browser unexpectedly. I don't use Opera for much, but it is a lot better than IE for purposes of being the Default Browser, considering the quirks I have seen with Firefox and multiple Profiles.
I have written a number of postings over at the MozillaZine Builds forum over the years about installing multiple versions of Firefox and using multiple Profiles. There's a lot of tips and comments provided by other multiple Profile users in one of those threads. Why don't you read those threads and see if it gives you some ideas or solutions I haven't thought of.

How do I export/import keyboard shortcuts to a text file

How do I export/import keyboard shortcuts to a text file?
It would be nice to export them, edit and/or add to them in a text editor on my iMac, then import them back into iPhone and iPad.

You can backup the bookmarks to a file, then copy that file to the new computer and import them, for details see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]].
You can copy more than just the bookmarks. The user data, such as bookmarks and passwords, are stored in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the contents of the profile folder, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] or [[Backing up your information]].
There are some add-ons and utilities that can make this process easier. The first one is the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE] add-on which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ MozBackup] utility.

How to stop Internet Explorer upgrade to IE 10 & IE 11

Dear All,
How to stop Internet Explorer upgrade to IE 10 & IE 11
In our environment we have around 300 workstations.I need to stop all of the machine users from manually downloading and installing IE.Also how do it stop the IE from updating using Group policy on windows server 2008 & windows server 2003.
All users machine are on windows 7.
Basically i want all users to get restricted to IE9.
Thanks ..
Mike...
Regards, Mike ||Persistent Work Triumphs||

Hi Mike,
>>Basically i want all users to get restricted to IE9.
Internet Explorer 10 will be available as an “Important” update through the Automatic Update feature of Windows Update. Users of Windows 7 Service Pack 1, who have opted to
download and install updates automatically through Windows Update (recommended setting), will automatically be upgraded to Internet Explorer 10.
However, we can prevent users from upgrading to IE 10 via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
Regarding how to prevent users from upgrading to IE10 or IE11, the following two articles can be referred to for more information.

Importing keyboard shortcuts from PS CS3 into CS4?

Is it possible to import keyboard shortcuts from PS CS3 into CS4?
And how?
m

Mmh, you could possibly simply copy over the respective files from your preset directory (Documents and Settings/Matjaz/Application Data/Adobe/Photoshop CS3/Presets/Keyboard Shortcuts). Not sure if it's safe, though. Never tried.

I just installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s. It seems to be working fine but all of the apps I had previously installed are gone. They show up in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts are gone. Does anyone know how to get the shortcuts back? Thanks!

I updated via my iPhone 4s. The apps were on my iPhone 4s. That's all the information that I have. The update to ios7 seems to have gone smoothly - everything else is working, phone texting, email, internet, etc. But all of the apps I had installed over the past year are no longer showing up as shortcuts. No facebook, no twitter, no espn, etc. They are all still listed in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts and my folders are gone. Thanks.

How to create a shortcut for a new application?

I have made an application. I did a blankform too, which is the 1st form to start. Now I`d like to know how to create a shortcut that this form will start from a win desktop. What to write in the shortcut`s target (the path to the blankform- thats the name of it)!

Well, if it's forms 10g, you can simply add the URL in your favourites and open it by selecting it from favourites menu of internet explorer.

How to import .iaf files into Outlook 2011 for mac?

I exported emails from Outlook Express (PC) to .iaf files years ago and now need to access them on a mac. I have downloaded Office for mac 2011 but can't work out how to import them into Outlook 2011.
Can it be done? Any suggestions would be hugely helpful.
Thanks.

Hi,
We can import .iaf files in Outlook 2010 using the following method:
Start Outlook 2010.
On the File menu, click Import and Export.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Export.
Click Import Internet Mail Account Settings, and then click
Next.
Follow the Internet Connection Wizard to complete the import process.
But, I don't know if we can do this in Outlook for Mac 2011. Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, it's better to post Mac related issue to the forum for Mac:

Uninstalling Safari 4.0.4 breaks Internet Shortcuts, HTTP no longer handled

Installed Safari 4.0.4 on Windows 7 to see if my site was truly as compatible with Safari as it was with Chrome. After checking it out I uninstalled Safari and it deleted the protocol handlers for HTTP breaking Internet Shortcuts.
When I click on an Internet Shortcut now I get the error: "Unable to open this Internet Shortcut. The protocol "http" does not have a registered program". I have Firefox 3.6, Google Chrome 5(dev), and IE 8 installed, and Chrome is my default.
Tried re-installing Chrome and Firefox to see if it would repair the handlers Safari deleted, but with unchanged results. I'm hesitant to try reinstalling Safari for obvious reasons.
Has this happened to anyone else, and if so, how did you repair your HTTP protocol handlers?

It hasn't happened to me, but the following page gives a good account of how to go about changing a file assocition or protocol in Windows 7. (If it's like the equivalent control panel in Vista, the "Protocol" section is way down the bottom of the list that comes up.)
