There are some strange folders under the "Favorites" menu in my Internet Explorer 6.0, such as "-Autos-", "-Business Directory-", "-Communications-", and etc. I never added these folders to the "Favorites" menu, and I do not know where they came from.

I could not even delete them. I use "Favorites/Organize Favorites/Delete..." to delete these folders. It seems that they have been deleted successfully. However, when I restart my computer, those folders just reapper under the "Favorites" menu.

How could I delete them permanently? What's wrong with my Internet Explorer 6.0 or my computer?

Here is the basic INFO:
OS: Windows XP Professional
Internet Explorer 6.0.2800

Thanks!!!

Jim
