[THIN] Re: IE7 and favorites

Ok I was able to find the stub entry that created the links and we'll just move forward with that.  Really makes me mad that MS has no way of easily getting rid of these files.  Makes no sense to me whatsoever but whatever.

 

thanks Doug, I would agree but when everything (and I mean everything) has to be certified against hundreds of pieces of software and everything is built around IE (ActiveX, etc) you go with you got.  Shoot the company is still using IE6 and is only just beginning the testing of IE7.  an

I know this is not what you are looking for, but we do not use IE for this and MANY other reasons, including security risks.

Subject: [THIN] IE7 and favorites

 

Ok, I'm trying to get rid of a favorite that is automatically populated by IE7 called Microsoft Websites.  does anyone know how to get rid of this thing?  I've tried using IE Maintenance in Group Policy under URL's, Favorites and Links and the policy of Delete existing Favorites and Link, if present but it won't go away.  Any ideas?  And yes RSOP shows the policy applies just fine.
