If you want to delete a favorite, simply right click on the
selection and select delete from the menu that pops out.

Another approach would be to open Internet Explorer, click on
Favorites and select "Organize Favorites" from the menu. You
can delete entries in the right hand pane. For any folders that
are displayed, right click and select Expand in order to gain
access to the contents.

The favorites you see displayed will be stored in either of
these locations:
C:\Documents and Settings\(YOURUSERNAME)\Favorites
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Favorites

Good luck

If the Favorites are not spyware or some other type of malware...

Internet Explorer > Favorites > right-click on the Favorite you want to
delete > select Delete.

You'll know if the Favorites in question are malware, because either they
won't delete or they'll be back the next time you start Internet Explorer.
For now, let's hope they aren't malware.

If you've got kids playing on your computer, you need to study up on
protecting yourself and your kids. Like it or not, you're going to need to
become a computer security expert.

Sir, I think its as easy as A-B-C...

Just open the Internet Explorer -> Favourites menu -> Directly right click
(on the option you want to delete) and click "Delete".

Another way would be to: Internet Explorer -> Favourites menu -> Organize
Favourites...

There you can delete, sort, copy, move or add any url/folder you want.

GREAT TIP: You can control your kid's activities over the Internet... To
