>Pls note there is a Favourites folder in Windows dir.. (which is having all the links/shortcuts)... copy that whole folder in your another computer...
That folder hold URL Shortcuts for the IE Browser, not the MSDN references. Spelling of both the file name and the CSIDL is important both when referencing the folder hard-coded, and when looking up the reference in collections. It also is not consistently found under the Windows directory; it will be in other locations under WinNT, Win2K, or Win9x with individual User Profiles enabled. The CSIDL for the current user's Favorites can be extracted in several ways; the Wscript.Shell automation object's SpecialFolders collection contains a favorites entry:
oShell = CREATEOBJ('Wscript.Shell')
? oShell.SpecialFolders('Favorites')
The value is stored in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive of the registry in the Shell Folders subkey that contains the IE options.
You can also use the Win32API call SHGetFolderPath() under Win98 and Win2K; this is an extension of the SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() API call used under Win95 and WinNT, which is cross-mapped by the redistributable SHFolder.DLL
Using CSIDLs will be increasingly important under Win2K, especially when planning and implementing installs. there's an article that discusses this and other Win2K topics in the current MSDN newsletter, available online at msdn.microsoft.com/voices/news
