Default Corrupt Favorite urls

IE6 on Win2k
Allready tried this method
There are no virus/malaware the url's are corrupt (8 of them)
ie When viewed in IE the url instead of being a short name, comprises some
200 charactors (30 words) and as such I beleive exceeds the win/IE limit
I'd copy and paste if I could, but I cannot even do that with them.

How do you either delete the complete Favorites Folder, or specific URLs
These urls are corrupt, I cannot rename/delete/access properties.
I've tried via cmd.exe
TY



IE version?
Windows version?

Assuming IE6 on WinXP:
Close IE.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to
C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name)\Favorites and delete them.
