My computer crashed badly the other day, and took the FS with it. Had to reinstall the whole thing and set it up as before. However. when I used regedit to set the shared favorites thingie, it refused to keep the setting, always reverting to the original "%USERPROFILE%\Favorites"-line. Any idea as what may be wrong? I have the same permissions and all setup as before.
