Or you can save any hassle at all and just keep the favo(u)rites folder on a separate partition and use the following registry inputs to configure it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Favorites"="F:\\Favorites"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]
"Favorites"=hex(2):46,00,3a,00,5c,00,46,00,61,00,76,00,6f,00,72,00,69,00,74,00,\
 65,00,73,00,00,00

This would have to be changed accordingly to how you use it, if at all, though I should really at least un-Americanise it by changing it to Favourites or something else if I get around to it.

Speaking of which (off topic), is there a way to change the word/menu heading of Favorites to read Favourites or Links or something? i.e. edit explorer/iexplore or not worth the bother?

of course its worth it! Everything in the anti-M$ movement is good :D

P.S. Didn't they say only Canadians use the "our" spelling nowdays?

P.P.S. Also, if I copy the favourites to %SystemDrive%\Documents and settings\User\favorites, will it still work if I create the user profile later?
