I see the folder in Favorites under my profile. You can write a login script
to delete it.

rd /s /q "%userprofile%\Favorites\Microsoft Websites"

Maybe one of the ActiveSetup programs is creating the folder. Look under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSetup\InstalledComponents. Search for
StubPath. These programs run the first time a user logs in. I see a couple
of them for IE.
