Hello people,
I wanted to clean up my favorites, bookmarks in Internet Explorer 6.x. I
does not allow me to select multiple files to delete them and it would take
too much time to do it a single bookmark at time. Where does IE store
bookmarks do I can edit it by hand and delete all the garbage at once? I
could export everything and edit that by hand but when I import them back in
they will just get appended! If it is not possible to edit bookmarks by hand
is there a utility that allows me to select more than one bookmark at a time
and delete them?

Thanks,
Erica

I just tested that in IE7. I made multiple deletions from my favorites
folder after backing it up to another folder. When I refresh favorites with
a copy of my favorites from my backup folder everything was still
there...worked fine

Hold down shift and click on organize favorites in I.E. It will bring
the favorites up in explorer. You can do what you want with it at that
point.
