    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 !
    If you can't beat your computer at chess, try kickboxing !!!

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