Hi
A number of people have asked about getting MSN Desktop Search to index
their browser history. I wrote a small application to enable this and have
been using it for the last 3 months.
Take a look at the following article for a more detailed description on how
it works and to download the binary and/or source code.

? Ya' know, I am pretty sure that I am not stupid but I am left feeling that
way.
Ok, so what do I do with the binary? Run it? Nothing seems to happen. I
tried setting up a WebCache folder (thinking you expect it) but still
nothing.
I hate to be a pain, but you really need a section called: 'How to get this
working...'
If you are finished and don't want to do that, I understand but it sounds so
perfect for what I want. Please hold my hand. I read all the posts and the
web page but am at a loss for what I need to do.
Sorry-ck

Thanks-I looked at some of the code and figured out the parameters but was
basically just being lazy by clicking on the file and wondering what was
happening. :(
I actually progressed to the point of finding some web pages I looked at
previously and was happy enough with the results to uninstall google desktop
search. Cool!

Hi
If you run it in a command window without any arguments the program will
print it's usage details.
BrowserCacheCopy.exe cache-directory [-all]
-all - Copy all cache entries, otherwise only entries viewed since last run
are
copied.
What I've done is create a scheduled task which runs the following command
once an hour.
"C:\Program Files\Tools\BrowserCacheDump.exe" "c:\documents and
settings\Sean\My Documents\WebCache"
Shout if you need anymore help getting it setup.
Cheers
