In Windows Explorer, you can set up a Group Policy to manage Favorites on client
machines, or share a .lnk file in your Links folder. This can be useful
if you want to preconfigure the folder that users will need to access the SkyVault repository
from Microsoft Office
(http://servername:port/alfresco/aos).
On a Windows 7 machine, the contents of Favorites in Windows
Explorer is assembled from the .lnk files in
C:\Users\username\Links. You can create a .lnk
file in your Links folder and distribute this to the Links folder of other users, or
preferably, you can use a Group Policy to manage Favorites on user machines. Follow these
steps to use a Group Policy:
- In the Group Policy Management Console, navigate to User Configuration\Preferences\Window Settings\Shortcuts.
-
Create a new shortcut (Group Policy Object) to a folder (not a link to a URL) with the
following UNC target path:
\\servername@SSL\DavWWWRoot\alfresco\aosAlternatively, you can specify @port instead of @SSL, but not both. If you use SSL, it must use the default port of 443.
