Hi Nik,
Whether any permssions should be given for the folder or the location where
the files are to be created on the client machine.

My problem is to update the clients favorite folder. Will that be possible
with this dll?

Requirement:
----------------

In need to create a new folder on the client's favorite folder list and then
i have to add a shortcut for a site.

If the folders that i tend to create already exist then only the shortcut
for the site should be added to that folder.

 Conditions:
 -------------

In must only update the client's favorite folder not overwriting the
client's own favorite list.

arun
