If it's the LINKS folder it's part of IE6. You may delete it but it will come back. Rgds.

Not sure that you are speaking of the links folder itself but it CAN be removed...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar

Delete value in the right pane...'linksfoldername'...

No its not in the links its just in the Favorites. And I can delete they just always come back.Its always the same three. Norton found them as a threat but cant delete. I was wondering if my last option was to just clean my c drive? drastic but this has been going on for over a week!!

velez, You could download the MoveOnBoot Program which is Free at the link below. It should solve the problem. Read the instructions for using it.
