Hi,<br />
I have lot of users having lot of links in the Finder Sidebar.<br />
<br />
The problem is that the Server where these links reside has changed.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to fix the path of old links pointing to new Server without recreating the Links?<br />
<br />
My thought is , if by any scripting we can extract the existing links &amp;&nbsp;then remove all of them from Sidebar.<br />
<br />
Once this is done, we could again use a new script to recreate those links, but with the correct location.<br />
<br />
I don't know if this is possible, so please help..<br />
<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
