First of all, i have these lines in my RegTweaks.reg file that were suppose to permanently delete "Links" from underneath the Favorites menu in IE:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar]
"LinksFolderName"=""
"Locked"=dword:00000001

But it's not working? Well, not the way i want it to :/ It now has a folder name "Favorites" underneath the sub menu for favorites and i can't delete IT! Seems even more redundant

Now i've read a few posts that i searches for on adding favorites silently. Seems there it a few ways to go about it. Winnt.sif, reg tweaks, etc. I am just looking for some input on the "best" method to add my favorite websites to Favorites in IE

Thanks

if there aren't too many, I'd go with Winnt.sif. If there are a few, you could just copy them into your favorites folder.

I have no idea about the removing of links though

You will need to delete the Links folder manually. The reg code you mentioned only aviod any links being placed in the Links folder as when I did mine, my links folder was empty.

Just put a small batch that will automatically delete the links folder AFTER you merge that Links Lock reg you have up there.

Alright what would i put in that batch file?

Could i put it in my cleanup.cmd file?

EXIT
