Default location for list files
This folder is the one you will be offered first when you save a new bookmark list. It is also where the sample bookmark list file will be moved. You can either use the application folder or you can choose another.
Installing for a 'Limited User' account
You must first be logged in as an 'Administrator' to install Bookmark Buddy. Then log in as a user and select Bookmark Buddy from the Start menu (under All Programs). The program will first run in 'setup' mode to configure user-specific preferences.
Multiple installations
If you are rolling out installations on several computers, you can prime each installation with the same preferences by adding a preferences back-up file, BmkBuddy.sav, to the installation archive as follows:
1. Install Bookmark Buddy on one computer from the zip archive (not the self-extracting version).
2. Configure the preferences (list files, browsers, behavior and presentation) as you want.
3. Exit Bookmark Buddy.
4. Locate the preferences backup file, BmkBuddy.sav, which will usually be in C:\Documents and Settings\<your name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Edward Leigh\Bookmark Buddy\3.0 (or ...\3.0U for the Unicode Edition).
5. Open the installation zip archive.
6. Add the file BmkBuddy.sav to the installation zip archive.
7. Install Bookmark Buddy on the other computers from the modified zip archive. |
