I cannot modify or delete 'favorites shortcuts'. I get an error message that

says that I must be the administrator. I AM the administrator...

Hi,

Which version of Windows? (Including SP level- e.g. Windows 7, Vista SP1,

XP SP2 , 32-bit, 64-bit, etc. Right-click Computer/My Computer> Properties

to obtain this information)



Can you delete Favorites if you right-click the IE icon and "Run as

administrator?" If right-clicking the IE icon doesn't present the "Run as

administrator" option, try another IE icon (quicklaunch bar, start menu,

etc.)



From Start> Run type in "shell:Favorites" (without the ") and access your

Favorites folder via Windows Explorer. Can you delete Favorites that way?
