Sharing My Favorites between profiles

Hi,
I have a laptop which I carry it with me between work and home. At work, this laptop connects to company network. So user name is AAA. At home, this laptop connect to ADSL uses another user name BBB.

Both AAA and BBB are for myself. I don't want two My Favorites. Is there any way I can use only one My Favorites for both work and home?

TIA
 
You can copy the links from one proflie to another.
That would be the quickest way.
Just select them all - then copy - then paste into the other profile
 
There is a registry key in which you can change the location that IE puts your favorites. I can't find it off hand, but if I do then I will post it.
 
Try this out!

<SPAN class=header>Change the Location of System and Special Folders</SPAN> <I>(All Versions)</I> <FONT color=green><I>Popular</I></FONT>

Windows keeps a number of special folders such as "My Documents", "Desktop", "Favorites" and the "Start Menu". These folders can be moved anywhere on you system and the new location updated in this key.
Open your <A href="http://www.winguides.com/registry/article.php?id=1&amp;amp;page=3">registry</A> and find the key below, listed are all the Windows special folders.
Note the current location of the folder you want to move, and then using explorer move the folder to the new location.
Edit the value in the key below for the folder you moved to reflect the new directory location.
<I><B>Note:</B> Log off or restart Windows for the changes to take effect.</I>
