The most insignificant question
 
I realize this question is hardly the most vital or most pressing question this forum has ever answered but this problem annoys the sh**&#&&#^#*#*#*t out of me. This concerns IE6 and the Links folder in "My Favorites." First I tried to delete it but it kept reappearing. I don't need links to Hotmail, Disney, Windows Media Player, CNN, etc. So I tried to delete the individual links. That seemed to work better but the Hotmail, MSN (or all the Microsoft ones) kept reappearing also. My problem is in all the other "My Favorites" folders I have created, "Hobbies," "Computer", "Resources," etc. the links all alphabetize themselves except in the "Links" folder. I have tried to do it myself but the next time I open Explorer it goes back to some jumbled mess. Is there some way I can "auto-arrange" these links,alphabetically, myself? Thanks for any hints, tips, suggestions, etc.

I'm not sure about categorizing them, but I right click on the Links folder and make it "hidden" right when I installed Windows XP. It's still there, but ya can't see it!

Along the top menu click favorites and then right click on any folder and choose "sort by name". You hafta use the top favorites menu for this to work, not the left favorites menu.

Neato,
Thank you for the suggestion but, alas, it still doesn't work. I tried to "Sort" them as you instructed but the next time I opened Explorer they, the links, went back to way the way they were before. Thanks, though for the suggestion.

Try downloadingTweakui from Microsoft.

I'm not sure about the version for Windows 9x/NT (it sounds like you're using Windows 98, right?), but for Windows XP, it does have an option to disable the Links folder in Favorites. Hope this helps.

PS In case I'm wrong, and you're using Windows XP, Tweakui for XP

itchy,
I am using XP and I do have a copy of TweakUI already downloaded. I went and re-explored Tweak for the tool something resembling the one you mentioned and I couldn't find it. Could you please point out specifically where it is? It would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks

That's odd, I just deleted it and I haven't seen it since. This is on WinXP Pro without any service packs.

if it does come back, the setting is under "Explorer" (Show Links on Favorites Menu).
