[THIN] Re: IE7 and favorites

I see the folder in Favorites under my profile. You can write a login script to delete it.

 

rd /s /q "%userprofile%\Favorites\Microsoft Websites"

 

Maybe one of the ActiveSetup programs is creating the folder. Look under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSetup\InstalledComponents. Search for StubPath. These programs run the first time a user logs in. I see a couple of them for IE.

Nothing there either.  By the way, what is that location?

Delete it out of the all/default users favorites folder on the server.

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.
