You know how users can have a list of links known as "my links" in MOSS? (not WSS) It has a nice web interface for managing favorites and storing them in the user's "my site", and even group them by groups, and display them in every page on the top as a drop down menu:
Well, what if you want to show the list on a page? easy - they exist as web parts, but ones that do not exist in your web part gallery by default.
- Open Site actions>Site Settings
- Click on "Web Parts"
- Click on "New"
- Scroll down in the list to find "QuickLinksMicroView" and select it
- Click on "populate gallery" and go to the page where you want the web part.
- Add the web part to the page
The web part has only two properties to customize it:

And at the end it looks like this:

Thanks!
If it is possible to expose this in a webpart then does anyone know if it is possible to expose them in a dataview webpart?
Thanks for the insight into the web part I hadn't seen that before.
Hi Ishai,
Thank you for the great article. This is a very useful web part, but I have found few bugs after playing with it.
You can read and verify them from my post
