[HM] Re: Deleting Favorites from Internet explorer

[Barry Lyden]

Jane,

It sounds like from your most recent email that you've solved the 
problem of deleting the bookmarks, but for the sake of completing what 
I started...

The permissions that I am referring to is the permissions on the 
Favorites.html file. On my OS X machine, this file is located in: (home 
directory)-->Library-->Preferences-->Explorer (in UNIX speak: 
~/Library/Preferences/Explorer/Favorites.html). From there, highlight 
Favorites.html and do a get info (cmd/apple-i) and open the permissions 
section of the get info dialog. From there, you can check/change 
permissions on the file for yourself and everyone else. But unless 
you're still having trouble, I would probably leave the permissions at 
the default settings.

Hope this helps,
Barry
