Redirecting special folders for multiple users to one location.

[Guest Indicium]

Windows XP sets up special folders (including the favourites folder) for each

user in their area on the home computer.

 

You can redirect them using Tweak UI. However, Tweak UI gives the following

warning:

 

"Carelessly changing your special folders may make your system unusable.

 

For example, don't set two special folders equal to each other, or set a

special folder equal to a system folder like the Fonts folder.

 

Continue changing special folders?"

 

I already read "How to redirect special folders in Windows XP?"

(http://windowsxp.mvps.org/RedirectFolders.htm), but this article does not

give an answer to the above mentioned warning.

 

Questions:

 

(1) Can you set up a shared special folder "favourites" where several users

(separate logins under Windows XP) can have access to using the normal

procedure in IE7 [e.g. add to Favorites Center]?

 

(2) Can you combine this with a private special "favourites" folder?

 

I look forward to advice on this matter.

 

 

Kind regards.
