Ever wanted to access your web browser favourites/bookmarks from at work?
Obviously you'll need a private VPN link to home, using something like say Hamachi (highly recommended BTW
)
Setup a file share so that you can access your Internet Explorer Favourites folder. Give it read-only access, or if you want read-write access so that you can modify/create bookmarks from at work as well.
Now setup the symbolic link on your work PC... Load a command prompt (start->run->"cmd.exe"->ok).
Navigate to your work's PC's favourites folder of its own. E.g.
cd\
cd\users\joe bloggs\favourites
Then do:
mklink /d "Favourites at Home" "\\123.123.123.123\Favourites"
Obviously replace the IP address with the correct IP of your home machine across the VPN.
This will create a folder on your work's PC favourites folder called "Favourites at Home" and when accessed, even through IE, it will automagically load your favourites from the file share.
Been using this for 2 weeks now and it has been faultless
