I have deleted this and it always comes back. Is there any way to delete the links folder under IE favorites so that it stays gone?

Microsoft's steps to HIDE it



Registry hack steps to DELETE it

Go to START --> RUN

Tyep REGEDIT and press ENTER

Navigate to the key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Internet Explorer\Toolbar.

In the right-hand pane, find a String value named

LinksFolderName

and rename it to OLD_LinksFolderName (so you can easily reverse this change if you wish).

Now right-click on the right-hand pane,

Select New --> String value, and name the new value LinksFolderName, leaving its data blank.

Now when you delete the Links folder one final time (within IE), IE will not re-create it.
