An Easy Way to Do It
====================

To use this without all the typing each time:

1. Open C:\Windows\Favorites folder in Explorer
2. Copy (you must copy, NOT make a new shortcut) any existing shortcut in that folder.
3. Paste it back to the same (C:\windows\favorites) directory
4. Right click it, click properties, in the URL: box put in your tip javascript:alert(document.lastModified)
5. Then rename it, I named it Date Info.

That’s it, it’s always there in Favorites when you want it.
