This script will allow users to carry favourites in a folder in there home directory. So if you don’t use roaming profiles users will retain there favourites. You may need to change the drive letter of the home drive, in our case the home drive is “H:”

<vb>

'Create Favorites Folder


If Not fso.FolderExists("T:\Favorites") Then 

  call noFavorites

End If

sub noFavorites filesys.CreateFolder "H:\Favorites" END sub

'Re-Direct Favorites

' Variable Initilisations Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") strUserName = objNetwork.UserName strRegKey = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Favorites" strRedirectionPath = "H:\Favorites"

' Write the new Favorites path objShell.RegWrite strRegKey, strRedirectionPath

' Variable Destruction Set objShell = Nothing Set objNetwork = Nothing</vb>
