Favorites - common and personal

[Richard]

I am creating a lab image for a student laboritory, and I
need to be able to have IE draw from a couple of groups of
favorites... 1st is a group of common favorites that are
stored locally on the machines...and the 2nd is a set of
personal favorites stored on network drives for each user.

I have tried using all users profile and another generic
profile...but this doesn't seem to work..it only draws
from the one place still.


Any ideas would be greatly recieved.

Thanks

Hi Richard,

That's normal in Windows XP. Common Favorites + User favorites is not possible together. Redirecting Favorites to establish a common favorites folder is the only workaround that I can think of. You can redirect the Links folder as well.
