Links folder in Favourites

How do I get rid of it?

Have recently reinstalled PC and I can usually hide the flipping thing, by right-clicking and selecting Hide, Apply. This time though it refuses to be kept hidden, keeps popping back again!

I don't want to go into the registry, does anyone else know how I can lose Links for good?

Thank you

Right click, Delete.

Thanks, done that 50 times but it keeps coming back.

Any other ideas please? Do I have to do something in the registry?

Thanks for your reply. Am sure I tried that before but done as advised, will let you know if it reappears.

Thanks very much for replying

To stops the Links folder being recreated, open IE, click on Favourites, on the drop down menu, right-click on the Links folder, choose Properties, check the Hidden box, Apply, OK, delete the Links folder from the favourites menu.

richyrichuk - it's back!

espresso - your suggestion has worked before when I've reinstalled PC but this time the folder insists on re-appearing.

Thanks very much for suggestions, anyone any more ideas please? It's driving me mad. :mad:

Are you saying that you cannot hide it? Try this:

1. Start Windows Explorer.
2. Move to your user profile area (e.g., C:\documents and settings\john).
3. Open the Favorites folder.
4. Right-click the Links folder, then select Properties from the context menu.
5. Select the Hidden check box, then click OK.
6. Start IE and delete the Links folder from the Favorites menu.

Thanks again espresso. Not exactly sure what you mean about user profile area. Be grateful if you could advise. The evil Links folder is sitting laughing at me. I have to beat this ...

Depends on your machine but something like:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Favorites

e.g. the locations of your Favorites folder.
