How do you get rid of the links folder under favorites for good? After I delete it, it comes back.

In the registry, change the following:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar]
"LinksFolderName"="Links"

Change "Links" to "" (without quotes... eg. an empty string).

and then delete the links folder

well if u parse this in an unattended install no need

erm "Networks, Internet and Security " forum? why?

Heh.. yeah that's what I thought.

Also, with SP2, I seem to have the strange quirk in that the links folder is replaced with "Favorites" when I remove the above string.

Edit: Deleting it again fixes the problem.

What OS are you using?

And are there roaming profiles?

When I first read this I thought you were talking about those folders that show up under "My Network Places" at the bottom of explorer. Does anybody know how to permently remove them, when I delete them they just come back?

Why does one even need that stupid folder? Its not even adertising.
