'Favourites' on Server

[simonstevens35]

Hi there,
Is there any way for'favourites' to be stored on the server, so that all the client machines can see them in IE?

Thanks in advance,

Simon Stevens

Have a look at this (it's for Win2k, but it should hold true...):

Can you explain what you are trying to do a bit more please?

Are lots of users using the same favorites? Is this a workgroup or domain?

You can change location of favorites (eg, using tweakui), so you could change this for all users to a location on the 'server' - if not too many users. But I'm sure you'll get better advice if you clarify exactly what you want to do.

what I would like is instead of each machine having its own seperate set of favourites, a central record to be stored on the server so all the clients have a syncronised, identical list of favourites.

The pcs all operate in a single workgroup.

I've got no XP box to test it on at the moment, but the instructions in the link above *should* pan out.

I would use tweakui for XP to set the favorites folder (My computer, special folders), as it saves making editing mistakes, and allows you to browse to the destination. You can get it from
