synchronize favorites

[Roberto]

I have IE 5.5 with windows NT 4.0 (sp6) on several computers and am always adding items to my favorites folders on different computers. Now when I expect to find an item in one favorites list it is usually on the other computer's favorites list.

Is there a way to synchronize the favorites lists so that I can have one list of folders and items that includes all of the favorites from both PCs?

Hi Roberto:
Instead of synching favourites, why not use the same favourites folder? Its more efficient & uses less space.
I'll summarize the procedure involved..
- create the common favourites folder & give it permissions & sharing .. lets call this directory as
<b>\\CentralComp\WinNT\Faves</b> or if its mapped <b>x:\winnt\faves\</b>)
- go to your registry thru ur editor (regedit) and change..
<b>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer \User Shell Folders</b>
change it to either name <b>x:\winnt\faves\</b> or <b>\\CentralComp\WinNT\Faves</b>

Ex Static-Cling,

Good suggestion. Unfortunately some of the PCs are not networked.

If some are not networked then it is not possible to synchronize them.

For the ones that are netowrked, try roaming profiles.

A simpler option is to copy the favorites folder to floppy and then to each PC.
