Jogy Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Thats nice ... And how about if I want to put it under "Links", and maybe in a folder under "Links". This is cause I normally create a folder and group the Favourites under Links as "Music", "News", "Banks" and so on...Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedenXP Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 It´s much easier to compress your favorites into an .exe file with winrar and run it from main_batch.cmd lite this;start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Favoriter\Favoriter.exeAt least, that is what I do, and it works for me.An alternative program that works very well for favorites, mailaccounts and mailfolders is Outlook Express Backup Genie - tried it and I like it./ SwedenXP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
