I would like to have my own "Favorites" load when I open
IE6 and for them not to be available to the other users
of my computer. Is there a way to do this? Thanks....
 
Phil,

Favorites can be stored in two locations:

C:\Documents and Settings\<Your username>>\Favorites (available only to you)
and
C:\Documents and Settings\all users\Favorites (for all users)

You need to simply drag the favorites from all users to your user profile
and delete the original.

I've not heard of All Users favourites working on XP. I did a search a month ago to see if anyone had made them work. The Docs say it applies to NT systems only - this can mean it does/dooesn't apply to XP depending on what they mean here. Usually this language means it works on NT4.

It reads the favourites there but it doesn't display them. I waiting till I'm on a domain (and I remember to check). I'll be on a 2003 domain later today so I'll have a look (if I remember).
 
As far as i can tell, the All Users Favourites sole purpose is as a target if you want to have common favourites. EG One has to choose between common and per user.

See Q158787 and Q177848

but that doesn't explain while it read all users when favourites is displayed.

Yes David, IE (XP) does not query this "all users" path while accessing
favorites menu. It worked for me in Win 2000.

I filemon'ed it. It does read the All Users folder, doesn't do anything with
it.
 
I can't duplicate it. It read it on the first attempt after reading one of the FavouritesChange keys.
 
David, I dint even get it once. "All users" is not queried for me, not sure
why.
