Favorites Bar

I have a new Dell laptop with windows 7. I cannot delete the Web slices on the favorites bar. Help section says right click and delete,which is the normal practice,however when i do this it just brings up the website if not already on it.
Grateful for any help.

I'm not too familiar with Win7 but the small play I did have with it, on a laptop, I did come across a problem with default settings ensuring something was opened when I had merely hovered over it. You may find yours is opening when you don't expect it due to something similar. Just a thought.

Thanks O G any idea how I could check the default setting.

This has nothing to do with Windows 7. It's IE 8 which is the same whether you are running Windows 7 or XP.
Right-click the actual button on the toolbar, and click Delete. Confirm that you want to send it to the recycle bin

I assume that is what Dennis has tried ?

Difficult to recall default changes now, been a while. But I think I went to the control panel, mouse device settings and then settings and disabled something, and my problem went.

Have done that many times rojash,but it doesn't work.

Have now discovered that the problem also applies to other subjects i want to delete by using right button to bring up delete.I think that there must be a block somewhere but I cannot find it.

Sounds like a problem with your mouse's right button, then?

Thanks guys,looks like a call to Dell tomorrow.

If a mouse problem you may be able to check using a USB one plugged into the side ?

Found the answer guys,all I had to do was go to Control Panel then Mouse and click on Default,now all is ok.Thanks again all of you for your input,much appreciated.
