AM-DeadLink saves the last check status between sessions (for bookmarks
only). This feature is enabled by default and can be disabled in the general
options. For many bookmarks this option can slow down the loading process.
Internal browser has a popup blocker
Internal browser: New button to go one level up
IE-Favorites/absolute path column: AM-DeadLink shows now the absolute path
within the folder structure and not the absolute path to the *.url file

hammer)
Context menu: Show source code of *.URL file (for IE favorites only)

Improved detection of IE Proxy settings
After changing/deleting a bookmark the browser bookmark is not changed
immediately, you have to save the list manually

Thanks for posting this. I've been using ver. 1.42 for quite a while
and really like it. When you have as many bookmarks as I do, a program
like this is very valuable.

Sometimes a program just "Feels right", and this is one of them.

Not only that, but it does it's job perfectly. I just wish it would
open in a maximized window. I've tried changing the shortcut
properties, but this is one of those programs where that doesn't work.
Still, that's only a minor thing given the service it provides.

How is this program better than FavOrg? I've been using that one.

Not sure why it won't open maximized for you. When I run it, it does, and
I don't even have the shortcut set this way. I'm running it on WinXP SP1.

How are we going to know if you won't share it with us?

How do you propose I do that? The installation program (500K) resides
on my computer and it is my understanding PCMag does not have it
available anymore.

It would seem that you've answered your own question. FavOrg is no
longer freeware and AM-Deadlink 2 is.

That might be why, since I'm using ME. I can live with it though
because as I said, the program does its job perfectly.

I agree, this is a very handy program to have. It's nice to have a
program to replace FavOrg.
