This is *great* for personal webpages, where instead of making a link list and having to constantly update it, this snippet will show visitors your favorites in real time.
You can, of course, change the windir to, for example, c:\\sitelinx , and put the links you want to be seen in the site there.
Update: I did change to Opera as OeufMayo suggested, and edited the code to reflect my Opera5 favorites:
simply add either &IEfav; or &operafav; respectively.
use CGI qw(:all);
use strict;

sub IEfav {
my $windir="C:\\windows\\favori~1";
my @FILELIST=glob ("$windir\\*.url");
my ($url, $file, @URLS);
foreach $file (@FILELIST) {
  open (URLFILE, $file);
  @URLS = <URLFILE>;
  foreach (@URLS) {
    /.*URL=(.*)/;
    $url=$1;
  }
  $file=~/^C:\\windows\\favori~1\\(.+)\.url$/;
  print "<A href=\"$url\"> $1 <\/A><BR>\n";
  close URLFILE;
}

sub operafav {
  my $operadir="C:\\Program Files\\Opera";
  my $name="";
  open (URLFILE, "$operadir\\opera5.adr");
  foreach (<URLFILE>) {
    if (/^\s*NAME=(.*)/) {
      $name=$1; }
    elsif (/^\s*URL=/) {
        my $url=/^\s*URL=(.*)/;
      print "<A href=\"$1\"> $name <\/A><P>\n";
    } 
  }
  close URLFILE;
}
