How to Redirect Favorites Folder to a Different Drive
We have a laptop configured with two partitions, a (C:) drive and (D:) drive.
The C drive is for OS and applications, the D drive is for data.
We've moved the My Documents folder to the D drive, however, we can't figure out how to get IE 6 to see the Favorites folder on the D drive. Is this possible?
