I recently installed the Windows XP SP2, and now the javascript
window.external.ImportExportFavorites() function doesn't work, nor import or
export :-(
Is it a kown bug or security removal ?

John.
 
My support incident summary:

------- Microsoft -------

Problem statement:

The javascript function window.external.ImportExportFavorites()
function appears to be broken in Windows XP SP2. Is there a fix and/or
workaround for this problem?

Resolution:

Unfortunately, the function window.external.ImportExportFavorites() was
deemed to be a security risk by the developers during the planning of
the Windows XP SP2 update and its functionality was removed from
Internet Explorer. The documentation updates have not yet been
completed to reflect this change in the latest version, but I have
confirmed that this change is by design.
