I think if you go into Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, Browsing and put a check mark in close Favorite Folders (3rd one down) that might work -- but then again it might not (smile). But I would think it is somewhere in that dialog box. Judith http://www.agoodread.com Can someone tell me how to keep that side tool bar with the favorites listed to stop popping up on the left hand side of my computer. I can x out of it each time but want it so I dont have to x out each time. I have win xp home version, IE 6 and OE.
