Navigate to the Favorites folder in Windows Explorer. Click on each one while holding down CTRL. Right click on one of them, and click 'delete' in the drop-down menu.

If more detail needed, please post your operating system.

Aye, those were the days, with a BBC B - all those REMs & GOTOs, with a 32K RAM ;)

I only queried the OS (Windows 98, 2000, XP etc) in case you needed guidance on finding Windows Explorer. In XP, for example, it's tucked away in 'Accessories' instead of being in the main programs list.

OK dusty. Assuming it's XP: Using Windows Explorer, navigate to Local Disk / Documents and Settings / 'your ID' / Favorites.

If all else fails, yes a 'Search' in Explorer will find it.
