Links folder removal.

[FesteringGob]

I have seen this before, but I can't remember where. Can anyone tell me where to remove this folder from my favorites where it never comes back? I don't know why, but I really hate this folder.
LOL Thanks for any help.

i would like to know how to do this too...

I only know this way:
Right click on the links folder\properties then tick 'hide'.

VIEW - TOOLBAR - Uncheck "Links"

no... i want to get rid of the folder in the menu, when you click favorites in the menu next to tools, and view... it gives you a your favorties and then a folder named links... i thought tweakui had an option to remove it but i cant find it now...

 

[Hipster Doofus]

What I said will get rid of it by hiding the folder. Get to it by using windows explorer.

Okay, if you don't want to see it in Favorites then Hipster's method is best - just right click on the folder in Explorer & hide it.

Yes. I do not believe Windows will allow you to remove it completely because two system files are stored in that directory/folder. Those being 'quick search.exe' and 'toggle images.exe'.

 

[madmatt]

Because IE requires those files, meaning they are system files.

Here you go

1. Start regedit, Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
2. Locate the string "LinksFolderName" Right Click on it and select delete.
3. Click Ok, and exit regedit
4. Restart

or

in IE, click on favorites and right click on links, propreties, check read only and hidden.
it will never show again in your favorite list

Be interesting to see if it comes back or not. Let us know. About the registry edit that is.
