| | I need to change the internet Explorer favorites folder on a Windows XP machine. In the past I have used TweekUI. One small problem, I don’t have administrator right on the machine. I figure that there is a registry key that holds this information I just can’t find it. I have Googled on the subject but I only get references to TweekUI. Any suggestions? |

Don't you need administrator rights to edit the registry keys? But according to what you said, it seems like it's not necessary. Anyway, I found the registry key at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_favorites.htm. It's at HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders, and you just need to edit the value of Favorites.

I was wondering the same thing about being able to change the registry without administrator access. I was able to open regedit so I was hopeful. As it turns out I was able to change the registry entry without any problems. Thank you szupie for a great answer.

IE favorites
Change Ie Favorites Folder?
I know that there is possible to change fav directory on the CurrentUser, though is it possible to do it on a CurrentMachine?
if there is a way to do it, is there any solution, by script or whatever, to save all the favorites from users in a personal folder in a server directory?
Thanks.

Can You Create A Folder Name "con"
Is it possible to create a folder named "CON" in Windows? (23) I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
I found the reason that CON stands for CONsole which is device name but....
