If the Type is a feed or slice, the function will subscribe using the Windows RSS Platform. When subscribing to a feed or a Web Slice, the Title is only used until the data can be retrieved from the server.
If no Type is specified, the item is simply added as a bookmark to the Favorites Bar.
Windows Internet Explorer 8 and later. For security reasons, the IShellUIHelper3::AddToFavoritesBar method must be called as a response to a user-initiated action, such a mouse click. If called from a different context, such as the onload event of the body element, the IShellUIHelper3::AddToFavoritesBar method fails silently.
