Hey All,

I have a GPO on a 2000 AD. The GPO creates a list of favorites for the users.
"User Config\Windows settings\IE Maintenance\URLs\Favorites and Links."

When the user logs-in to a 2000 Pro desktop, the lists of Favorites is
copied to his profile's Favorites folder, however, when a new user logs in to
a XP box, the favorites are not copied to the profile.

I though this could be a permission issue on the XP box, I did try to add
the user to the local admin group. No luck there.

Is there something i need, like a patch or a setting to have this policy be
enforced on an XP box?

Thanks so much for any info you can provide.
