Favorites + paths in config

(OP)
Where is the "Favorite" paths saved, i have found some in the config file, 6 out of 10, but i cant find the remaining 4.
I have also some problems with loading textures to assigned colors, seems WF isnt reading the paths in the config file. Are there any limitations in path naming, could i use # / & in the file names or path names ?

Are using WF2 and Intralink.
Texture and color files are located on harddrive, not in CS or WS.

RE: Favorites + paths in config

Pro/E does not like any spaces or special characters in the path.

Yeah, Windows is notorious for their spaces.  For the life of me I couldn't figure out why my color.map wasn't automatically loading, until I figured out I was pointing to a 'My Documents' folder.

It's handy to put a short-cut in your 'My Documents' folder that teleports you to a C:\MyDocuments directory (no space)...

Don't you just love companies who say they have their products Microsoft certified but cannot read files from folders with spaces in the name?
