Can someone point me in the right direction on this?
Should be pretty straight forward. The IE favorites file is amarkup file
Under 10 it lives at
~/Library/Preferences/Explorer/Favorites.html
Just open this up in a text editor to see the format, (or drop it on IE to
see the layout).
Then to modify it by applescript do something like
set a to read file <favorites>
--find the bit you want to insert at
--insert your items
Write file <favorites> newString
