if its on a network drive, you can.

change HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\Shell Folders\Favorites & User Shell Folders\Favorites to the folder.

Not sure about on a web server, though.

fwiw, you dont have to name the folder on the network drive to favorites, it can be whatever. I pointed both reg keys to O:\Folder\Folder\Test\ and put a few shortcuts in there and it worked.
