42019	2002-04-05 08:44:00	I would like to be able to delete once and for all the links folder in my favourites menu. Every time i restart my box, it is always there and I do not want it. Is there a way to remove it and stop it from ever coming back (short of having a batch file run on startup!!)??? Cheers, Jimbob	Guest (0)

Then you can have the Links toolbar up the top of your screen for quick access to your favorite sites instead of fumbling through the favorites menu. I love mine, and guess which link is first in the queue? ;-)	Guest (0)

They set the folder's attributes to 'Hidden' so that it doesn't appear in the Favourites menu. And you can do the same. Just open Windows Explorer, navigate to the Favourites folder (Under Win Favourites I guess), open the Fav folder, right click on 'Links' folder, click properties, and tick the 'hidden' attribute, and OK. That should do it for you. Mike.	Guest (0)
