Windows favorites folders. It appears files are deleted when I delete them, but when I go into the favorites later, they are still there. Help please....Thanks
 
aaarrrgh, not again! Thought we had you fixed up last month!
Here ya' go: Start/Run/regedit
Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Favorites
and
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Favorites
and delete the ones you don't like.
Bet they don't come back.
But first, I'll leave it up to you to learn how to EXPORT registry keys so they can be retrieved.
Windows help files and the whole internet await.
Remember, too, if you cripple the registry, YOUR COMPUTER DIES.

I bet they will if they're bad site links. ;)
