  3rd Issue
  I’ve spent hours trying to decode how to create these shared .ini files with the sole aim of automatically creating a list of directory favorites then somehow tracking them in excel somehow and then auto sharing between computers since windows explorer favorites are lacking so badly.  But I really can’t decode how to get this to work after reading all pages on website and forums.  That’s fine but wondering if this somehow could be simplified since it’s such a huge capability that no one has.  Anyway, as a last ditch effort I simply tried sharing the .ini file with other computer using a shared directory but alas this did not work because the computer that held the master copy had a different “active directory username”  so the PC directory to C:\docs\”uasername1” didn’t match C:\doc\”usenarname2” and the ini was not found by QAP on other PC.  Curious if the %username% redirecting format could be used somehow to fix this but this is a side problem that I don’t see spending more time to get working, I just thought I would share my experience since you have spent time developing this for the community.
   
  Thanks again for all you do

  I'm not sure I get what you want to do. Could you elaborate?

  You can use Windows environment variables in favorites locations, for example "%USERPROFILE%\Documents". See https://www.quickaccesspopup.com/can-i-u...ite-paths/
  
  Also, User variables can help you for more specific situations. For example, on each QAP instance, create a variable "{UserFolder}=C:\docs\username" with the correct path for this PC an use the variable "{UserFolder}" in your shared favorites. This is a bit longer to setup but this makes QAP works on different PCs. See these help pages: https://www.quickaccesspopup.com/tag/user-variables/
