You can use this tool as an alternative to “Favorates” menu. You can create new categories and organize links. URLOrganizer is a a simple tool developed in Dotnet framework 2.0 with language VisualBasic.net.

This software uses Windows Registry to store data. For portability, I have add an Export to XML feature also.

There is a LinkClass.vb class file which holds registry write/read functions. This function loads URL information from registry and fills the tab control.

Public Sub LoadList()
  Dim hkcu As RegistryKey = Registry.CurrentUser
  Dim hkSoftware As RegistryKey = hkcu.OpenSubKey("Software", True)
  hkURLOrganizer = hkSoftware.OpenSubKey("URLOrganizer", True)
  If (hkURLOrganizer Is Nothing) Then
    hkSoftware.CreateSubKey("URLOrganizer")
    hkURLOrganizer = hkSoftware.OpenSubKey("URLOrganizer", True)
  End If
  If (hkURLOrganizer.SubKeyCount = 0) Then
    hkURLOrganizer.CreateSubKey("General")
  End If
  Dim s As String
  For Each s In hkURLOrganizer.GetSubKeyNames
    Form1.TabControl1.TabPages.Add(s)
  Next
End Sub
