Default Corrupt Favorite urls

How do you either delete the complete Favorites Folder, or specific URLs
These urls are corrupt, I cannot rename/delete/access properties.
I've tried via cmd.exe

Favorites Organize Favorites Delete button is a better choice.

IE version?
Windows version?

Assuming IE6 on WinXP:
Close IE.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to
C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name)\Favorites and delete them.

If you can't delete the entire folder in Documents and Settings as Frank
suggested, I would suggest you ask in an Internet Explorer newsgroup.

For Internet Explorer questions not pertaining to Outlook Express, please
post to one of the following:

IE6 Specific Newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...er.ie6.browser

IE General newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...plorer.general

Default Corrupt Favorite urls

IE6 on Win2k
Allready tried this method
There are no virus/malaware the url's are corrupt (8 of them)
ie When viewed in IE the url instead of being a short name, comprises some
200 charactors (30 words) and as such I beleive exceeds the win/IE limit
I'd copy and paste if I could, but I cannot even do that with them.
