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.

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
