Problem deleting a file in Favorites Folder

Fran:

What type of file is it? And if you click on it, will it
still take you to its location (ie URL, etc)?

Mick, it looks like an internet shortcut file. When I click on it...nothing
happens.
Thanks, Fran

Hi Fran:

Ok, try this:
1) Determine where your "Favorites" folder is located (if
you have trouble finding it, do a "Search" on "Favorites"
and find out its location that way)
2) Go to that location and open the Favorites folder, and
try deleting the file that way.

Lemme know if this works - if not, we can try another way.

Fran, that last post was from me, not someone
who's "butted in"...
