Is there a setting I can change to keep the damn "Links" selection out of my Favorites pulldown? I right-click and delete it but then if I shut IE down and open it back up again it's there. It's frustrating as hell seeing it there. I'm a bit of a neat freak (my desktop only has two icons on it).

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: LinksFolderName
Value Data: [Set the String Value to a blank string]
Open Internet Explorer and manually delete the Links folder from Favorites Menu.
The Links folder will not be recreated.
Exit Registry and Reboot

make sense?

Perfect sense. Thanks! I was just hoping there was some selection in Tools or something that would get rid of that damn thing. On my old Win98 I just deleted by right-clicking and it never came back.

It's the address book you keep in your back pocket with a listing of all your favorite WV "entertainment":D
