Favorites not showing

Post by JohnE »

Hi,
We are currently building up an image for our new Internet machines using Windows 7 and IE8.
The favorites folder is in the same folder as the PWB executable.
c:\Program Files (x86)\TeamSoftware Solutions\Public Web Browser v2
When we run PWB none of the favorites show up though.
The pwb.ini file has:
[Files]
FavoritesFolder=Favorites

Using PWB version 2.10.

Is there something needed to be done since the pwb.ini was used for Windows XP machines before and the path to the folder is different in Win7?

If the full path is not specified PWB attempts to locate the folder or file in the PWB folder.

Try either recreating the Shortcut and ensure the Startup Folder is set correctly or set the full path to the folder in the INI file.

Another possibility is the security in the PWB folder. Make sure the user has at least read access to the folder.

Unless you changed the paths in the INI file, PWB does not care what version of Windows it is running on.

Put the full path into the ini and it works fine.

Thanks Scott
