This may be old news to everyone else, but I am rather excited that I figured out this new-to-me trick for saving website addresses pertaining to my software programs.
I keep all of my program installers, plug-ins, and such in meticulously organized folders, with any notes as to installation, program use, or whatever kept in that same folder.
Always before, I have bookmarked any official sites, information sources, and what-have-you in the browser bookmarks; this used to be a wonderful way of keeping up with things --- until, the browsers changed their way of bookmarking and you can no longer bookmark a site in a dozen different places = bookmark it once and any subsequent attempts at bookmarking are "Edit this Bookmark" = not very handy at all.
So, I finally got the bright idea of creating a simple text file within the programs folder and copy/pasting any pertinent links in that text file.
I know exactly where all of my program files are stored and I can go there, open the text file, and copy the link to be pasted into the browser - any browser, in less time than it would take me to figure out just where the browser bookmark might be; of course, I also have to remember which of my many browsers the bookmark is in.
