Q. Is there any way that
I can Scan For Dead Links in my Bookmarks? I have years and years worth
and would like to weed out the dead ones.
A. This answer is one that
you will definitely want to read up about. It addresses a problem
that has irritated me (and I'm sure it has irritated you) for
quite a long time. The problem is keeping your internet favorites
(i.e. Bookmarks) more organized by deleting out old ones that no
longer work.
Personally, I have over 2,000 bookmarks saved on
my computer. As time goes by, this number gets bigger and bigger. The
thought of wasting my time going through each and every link to check
for dead links did not appeal to me at all. I have been looking for
some kind of easier way to do this task, but up until last week, I had
not found one.
I was so happy to find this little nifty program
that I had to share this with you all. It is a freeware program called
AM-DeadLink, and what it does is it detects dead links and duplicates
in your Browser Bookmarks. If a Bookmark has become unavailable you
can verify it in the internal preview and delete it from your Browser.
Additionally you can download FavIcons for all your Favorites and
Bookmarks.
AM-Deadlink works with Internet Explorer, Opera,
Mozilla and Firefox.
I put it to work on my favorites and after a few
minutes it finished. Out of my 2,000 bookmarks, 22 of them were dead, so
I deleted them out of my bookmarks (to accomplish that same task
probably would have taken me hours without this program).
This is a Freeware Program (and no I am not
affiliated what-so-ever with the makers of this program in any way).
Here is a screenshot of the program while it is running a scan of my
bookmarks:
