How to share IE favorites

Hi, I have a XP pro desktop and a XP Home notebook. They are on the same
network. I want to set up my system to share one set of favorite web sites.
So no matter which pc I am using, I always get the same favorite list, and
when I add a new one they both see the site. Is this possible? If how?
Thanks all in advance.

Below is a VBScript that redirects the pointer to "Favorites" (you may need a
logoff/logon to see the change, or at least you need to stop and start IE if it
is already started).

"Favorites" is the value that is changed (it is placed under two different
registry keys). Change the path in the variable sMyFavPath as you see fit.

Put the script in a text file with .vbs file extension and double

%--- Cut Here ---

' Change to correct path here
sMyFavPath = "U:\CommonFav"

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

oShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio n\" _
& "Explorer\Shell Folders\Personal", sMyFavPath, "REG_SZ"

oShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio n\" _
& "Explorer\User Shell Folders\Personal", sMyFavPath, "REG_EXPAND_SZ"

MsgBox "Finished"

Hi: How can I get a print out list of my favorites? Thanks, Alan

In IE - select File from Menu
then select Import and Export
Wizard comes up, select next
Export Fvourites, next
Select favourites, next
Export to file or address (take note where you are sending
the file to)
Continue until finished.

Your favourites are now listed as a .htm file presumably
called bookmark if left as the default.

Hope this assists you.
