This suggestion was originally sent to generalfeedback@netscape.com via the
online form but they redirected me to Bugzilla.  Use appropriate caveats.  :-)


In the online help document at <http://help.netscape.com/kb/consumer/971014-21.h
tml> it says that sharing bookmark files across profiles is not possible.  My
own checking shows this to be still true, though I have not yet been able to
check Communicator 4.7.

What can be done to encourage that this feature be added?  The original help
answer is now over two years old but the problem remains unanswered.  Is there
any reason why Communicator (and successors) can't simply be trained to
recognize and follow Windows Shortcut links (which would solve this problem)?
Can we find another way around this?

Still Frustrated,

I think the ability to declare a path to a bookmark file would be really good as
a cross-platform solution.

I suspect the shortcut-following problem is an NSPR one, not a Mozilla one.
