How to collect links..., anyone??

Hi!

I should like to construct a vb.net app that are able to run in the background and register all links I click on when surfing the web with IE. Does anyone have a clue how to solve this task?

The purpose of this is to collect a large number of links to store in a database. Maybe there is another solution to achieve this, suggestions?

Another solution may be to troll through the Temporary Internet files, or tap into IE's history. This way it isn't a constantly running process.
I have no concrete examples of this, but I'm sure some Google'ing could present some code.

I don't think you can do it like you want. At least not in VB.
But it is possible to write PlugIns for IE. For example using Trixie you can add some javascript code to each site. With this code you can save all links you visit.

On the other hand, I'm sure you already have such 'software' installed on your computer ... called: SpyWare ;-)
