Unwanted favourites

[killjoy]

I have a number of unwanted items in my favourites list which I want to
remove.

I can access them normally by left clicking on but am unable to access by
right clicking on.These items
also do not appear in my favourites folder or by using the Search.

I am running Spybot, Adaware and AVG plus Zone Alarm and there is no trace
of anything.

If I look for hidden / system files in my favourite directory they still do
not appear.

Any thoughts ?

Don't know if this can help in your case but worth a chance. The program
will let you delete or fix the bad links.
