@jcimarron: It works fine here (Windows 7 64-bit) after resetting IE as default. Pls send the .URL file type association report to my mail id (via contact form).

I went into Registry and find that after running the .vbs script the Data column for “IE.AssocFile.URL\shell\CopyURL\command is entered as ” wscript.exe %systemroot%\copyurl.vbs “%1″ ” and for “IE.AssocFile.URL\shell\CopyURL\” the Data column reads ” Copy Target URL “. That seems to be correct based on looking at the content of the .vbs file. But no “Copy Target URL” appears in context menu when right clicking on a Favorite (.URL) file.

@Ramesh Srinivasan–Thanks for your response.
Yes, I did that.
Do you have experience using Win7 64bit? (And the 32 bit version of IE8?)
MoonShellTools’ “Copy Url” will not work with Win7 64bit (even when installed into the Program Files (x86) folder), but supposedly does work with Win7 32bit.
