Annoying file returns every startup

Guest

There is a file in my favorites folder that I can send to the recycling bin
then
delete by emptying the recycling bin. But it comes back every time I restart
the computer. Does anyone know how I can permanently delete it?
I can't find the source of it on my hard drive. It's an URL file that
automatically tries to connect to the net via Microsoft internet explorer.
Thanks in anticipation of your reply!
