Re: Automated script to backup IE favorites?

Can't you teach them to use IE-File-Export to create a single HTML
backup file??

Hello - I work in disaster recovery and we have a few other applications
(Lotus Notes), where we have users click on a file in their delivered
applications window and it will backup all of their pertinent Notes files to
their home directory on the SAN.

Is there a way to automate the backing up of favorites in Internet Explorer
(Windows 2000)? We'd like to have something setup where the users can click
a file and then it copies all favorites to their H: drive and then a script
that will copy the files down whenever they login to a new PC. Is this
possible?

TIA
