Don't... options like this never ever work like intended. Blocking or auto-deleting such files and links will always result in unwanted deletions etc.

See WLM's/Windows OneCare's own (stupidly annoying!) block for certain extensions etc.

3.  Again, favourites, C:\.  Plus, you could read firefox's favourites from a bookmark.html if you were feeling like it.  But you should at least change favourites to read like so:

code:
var dir = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%HOMEPATH%\\Favorites\\");

Don't use environment variables if you don't have to. Not everybody has such environment variables and sometimes they even are wrongly defined. Use the proper Windows APIs (eg: SHGetSpecialFolderPath and the likes) to get those special folders.

4.  Should check if each browser is installed and not show the button if it isn't.
Better just disable the button. Hiding the button will result in a messy layout with gaps between the buttons when certain browsers aren't installed.

That is the exactly the same. What you enter in the shortcut _is_ exactly what you would write on the command line in a DOS-box.

Do not... That registry key you're using (I assume, I didn't checked out the script yet) is only there for Windows compatibily reasons. Although extremely many apps use those keys to get to those paths it really shouldn't be used. Use the proper APIs instead...

EDIT: after writing this post I4ve seen you've made some changes already or responded on some things already.... I'll sush now ;)
