Is it possible to redirect the "Favorite" folder to a
different location?
If so, how?

Any help is appreciated...Dave

Could you explain a little more fully what you want to do?
Do you want to change the site the Favorite points to?
 
You *COULD* go into the registry and change it there, but it appears in a
number of places. Easier to use something like TWEAK XP or TWEAKUI to change
the folder(s) for you. I have my Favorites folder on the D: drive - it's a
lot easier to find than digging through a number of folders in "Documents
and Settings".

You can change the value of Favorites in the Registry in these
two keys to point to a different folder:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders
