So Im in the process of setting up a Computer for my Aunt and Uncle for a gift Tomorrow. To make a long story short I would like to change the location where Safari stores it's Bookmark file. I found the Preference file, and downloaded a plist editor for Windows, but I can't figure out how to change it. This is the content of the plist file:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

	<key>WebKitLocalStorageDatabasePath</key>
	<string>C:\Documents and Settings\Kathy\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\LocalStorage</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Now I see the line that says <string>change safari 4 bookmark location</string>, but Im not sure what Im supposed to do to change it? ANy thought? I need to finish this in an hour or so so I can wrap it and go to bed 🙂
