Sharing Favorites tab?

[Jared Hess]

For a localization audit, auditors are interested in taking a .chm and running through it and then marking problem topics in the Favorites tab to our company. Is there a way to share favorites? How would this be done? Is it stored in the .chm? It doesn't seem like it since file date and size don't change if adding favorites, but I'm not sure. Any info?

I'm using Vista. Some google searches I've done on this reference an hh.dat file, but I don't see it. Any ideas where this info is stored?

If you look at this post you'll find a comment at the end with the location on Vista PCs.

Thanks Column. I did manage to find your post on my own, but thanks all the same for responding. I added this comment there as well:

One thing folks should know is that if you are sharing your Favorites tab, once you get a hh.dat file from someone and put it in the correct directory you also need to put the help file in the same directory structure on your system that exists in theirs. So if they are looking at a .chm stored in W:\HelpFiles\ you would need to have a W:\ drive on your system, create a HelpFiles subdir and add the help into there.
