Very easy script which gets link of this group page:
#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate()
$oIE.navigate('http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/AutoItList')
_IELoadWait($oIE)
$oLinks = _IELinkGetCollection ($oIE)
$iNumLinks = @extended
MsgBox(0, "Link Info", $iNumLinks & " links found")
$i = 1
For $oLink In $oLinks
if $i > 20 then ExitLoop
MsgBox(0, "Link Info", 'Link #' & $i & @CrLf & $oLink.href)
$i += 1
Next
