Subject: Mind giving a little help?

Hello everyone! I posted a topic a few days go and got an answer, and I
think this  would be the best place to ask my next question. I'm going
to type out my ending goal of this program so you can get an idea of
what I'm trying to accomplish here.

Goal: To have a program that will ask me what I'd like to search for
(news images or captions - and then more, but we'll stick with those for
now) and then pull this list of image URLs from a notepad file. In the
notepad, each URL is on one line. The program then checks to see if the
each URL from the list is 'real' or not (meaning it's uploaded and you
don't get an Error 404). When the program finds an image that is 'real'
I want it to put out that particular image URL the give me the option to
delete or keep it in the file if I choose delete it must delete the URL
from the notepad. It would be best if the program continued searching
the file and kept the one URL it found in queue or something and then
when it finishes give me the option for each image URL it finds - but
this isn't required. Since this list of URLs is so long, I'd like to
have the program run in the background almost all the time and hopefully
when it does find something it will give me a popup notification to
alert me that it found something and I need to check the program.

There is room for tweeking, a lot of those things aren't needed, but
would be great! Basically a program that runs almost constantly checking
different URLs from different files and being able to put out and then
delete the URL when told.

I got this code from someone a day or so ago, basically all it does is
tells me if the image URL is 'real' or not (which is what I asked for at
the time).

Thanks for your time and I look forward to getting replies!
