IE 7+ Favorites

Question

Is it possible to develop a plug-in for Internet Explorer that can replace the existing functions of the favorites?

Answer 1

Absolutely, however, it depends somewhat on what you expect from a “replacement”. You can develop an extension to create a new set of menus or drop-down toolbars, for example, the Google Bookmarks toolbar , for example, or as a Delicious toolbar and sidebar . These IMOs are much better for managing bookmarks than the built-in IE menu. However, you could create a top-level menu structure that worked exactly the same as in your IE favorites menu if you wanted to. There are many libraries that you can use to even handle integration with IE.

I don’t know what language you are developing, but some example libraries to make IE addons easy (there are many other languages ​​for other languages ​​for .NET):
