    Re: Deleting Internet Shortcuts

    I have exactly the same problem. Did anyone ever solve it? Using IE 6. Have done all my housekeeping i.e. clearing history, cache, offline content etc. But some websites still there and can't delete them from history. Right-clicking on them says they are internet shortcuts. How can I get rid of them?

    Hi and welcome to D-A-L

    I've moved you post as the one you latched onto was from march earlier in the year

    have you tried http://browsertools.net/IE-Privacy-Keeper/

    the internet shortcuts are sites you visited and saved the link
