NT Favourites Folder on personal network space

[matthogan]

Is it possible to change the NT system code that determines the path from the favorites button (in Open dialogue box in MS Office programmes) i.e. to C/Winnt/Profiles/localuser/favs to somewhere else? I want 'Favorites' home to be a users' personal space on a Network? Further, I am running Netware 4.11, in NWadministrator could I then set up the user template to create this Favourite folder in networked personal folder.
I know one solution is just create a folder containing created shortcuts but keeping basic users' operation, confusion and fiddling to a minimum would be better!

I'm pretty sure you can edit the registry to accomplish this task.

I don't know how to do this for all users, but I do kow how to do it for one user.

Open Regedit and go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Shell Folders]

Change the favorites string to the correct path.
Example: "Favorites"="H:\theoran\Favorites"

Thanks for reply Theoran!
Sorry to sound dumb, but where is Registry Edit?

go to Start Menu -> Run -> type in "regedit"
