It would probably be a better idea to find out what is doing it. If a web site tries to do that sort of thing (like changing your home page, adding bookmarks) IE usually asks you to confirm.

Try write-protecting the Favourites folder. Maybe then when this program tries to add a bookmark, it will error and you can find out who it is.

The LINKS folder in the favoutites menu will be added
automatically even if you delete it thousand times !

The LINKS folderSorry active, I'm confused. What has the Links folder got to do with this mystery program adding it's own bookmarks?:confused:
