Bookmark.htm: How can i duplicate this via SCRIPT?

IE has the capability to create a Bookmark.htm page of all favorites in
FAVORITES.
This is a series of point and clicks as follows:
StartUp InternetExplorer>File>import-export>next>click export-Favorites(in
ListBox)>click next>click next>click next>click yes>click finish>click
yes>click RefreshButton(on IE toolbar)

How can i duplicate this via SCRIPT?

Thanks!

Starting with Internet Explorer 5 you can do this with a trivial bit of =
code in a html page: external.ImportExportFavorites(0,'c:\\myfav.htm'). =
Unfortunately, that has been removed in Windows XP SP2, so only usable =
now if you are have an older operating system. =20

If you are just wanting to use this as a local script, the other option =
is to use FileSystemObject on the Favorites folder and format the =
results as HTML. I have an old script for that which may be helpful. I =
just now uploaded to www.billsway.com/notes_public/ -- look for =
Fav2HTML.vbs. That script is over 4 years old, written in the last =
century, but it worked ok when I tried it just now.
