WHAT IS URL ORGANIZER?
----------------------
URL Organizer 2 is a small, fast, simple utility for storing and organizing
large collections of URLs. It offers an innovative, intuitive and highly-
customizable interface. Each URL is no more than three mouse clicks away, plus
there's a quick search facility and space for notes. And if your
favorites/bookmarks are in a mess, then you'll love the ease with which URL
Organizer lets you re-organize them. Includes import/export tools. Supports
multiple URL collections and web browsers. Also doubles as an application and
document launcher.

Then run 'setup.exe' and follow instructions for installing URL Organizer. (You
will find a 'help' button that will bring up more detailed information.)

To uninstall, simply select 'Uninstall' from the program's Application menu.


REGISTRATION

This program is SIVL-compliant shareware. This means that, in order to fully-

not allow you to add any more URLs to a list once it contains 50 URLs. By

under the program's 'Application' menu).
