As promised, here is my module that I put together to make managing Internet Explorer favorites. The module is called IEFavorites and has 3 functions available:
- Get-IEFavorite
- Add-IEFavorite
- Set-IEFavorite
There are also 4 aliases associated with this module:
- gief (Get-IEFavorite)
- aief (Add-IEFavorite)
- sief (Set-IEFavorite)
- rief (Remove-Item)
Simply import the module file and you are off and running!
Import-Module .\IEFavorites.psm1 -Verbose
Viewing the favorites can be done like this:
Get-IEFavorite
Adding a new Favorite is handled like so:
Add-IEFavorite -Name Twitter -Folder SocialNetwork ` -Url http://twitter.com -Verbose
If I want to remove a favorite, I just pipe my results of Get-IEFavorite into Remove-Item.
Get-IEFavorite -Name Drudge* -File | Remove-Item -Verbose
Lastly, editing a favorite is done using Set-IEFavorite:
Get-IEFavorite -Name Twitter* | Set-IEFavorite -NewName Facebook -NewUrl http://Facebook.com -Verbose
That is all to the module. Check it out and let me know what you think!
