Group policy - IE favourites -

[cava83]

Hi,

How the heck do you force the IE favourites to be ontop of all the other ones??

So annoying.

Use FireFox?

don't quite fancy getting everyone to use FF really.



Just need to know for IE,

Thanks though

Can't force them to the top I'm afraid, however if you delete everyone's favourites then it'll be at the top!

There isn't a way using Group Policy. I have configured a Logon Script in Group Policy to do the job.

Create a VBS script and place this code in it. You may change the "Z:\Favorites" to what you like.

Option Explicit

Dim RegLocate, objShell

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

RegLocate = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Favorites"

objShell.RegWrite RegLocate,"Z:\Favorites","REG_SZ"

RegLocate = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Favorites"

objShell.RegWrite RegLocate,"Z:\Favorites","REG_SZ"
