I've done it in the past but can't remember how. Everytime I click on IE, The Links folder shows up in my Favorites folder. Please tell me how to permanently remove Links Folder.

It appears that a number of those who responded don't understand the word "permanently" other than reghakr.
I've removed it in the registry @ [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Favorites\Links] and it just replaces it.

I found this at http://www.windows-help.net - and it works!!

The Links Folder in your Favorites Folder can not be deleted. You can hide it however:

In Windows Explorer go to \Windows\Favorites
Right-click on the Links folder
From the menu select Properties
Place a Check-mark in the attributes box for Hidden
Now the Links folder won't show on the Favorites menu.

If you have the Links Toolbar visible, you can hide it by Right-clicking an empty space on the Toolbar, and clicking Links from the drop-down menu to clear the check-mark for the Links Toolbar.

The same procedure can be followed to hide the Software Updates Folder (or any other Folder for that matter).
