Hi Tom:

Thanks for the help.  Unfortunately, that doesn't work for this particular
web site.

The address didn't work for me. But, try this. Find the link in question.
Right click it and select "copy shortcut". Next, open your favorites folder,
but don't do it from within IE; navigate to it using My Computer or Windows
Explorer. When the folder's open, then go to File, New, and Shortcut. When
asked for the command line, paste in the shortcut with a ctrl+v. That worked
for me; I just tried it a minute ago.

Cheers!
Tom
