I need some windows based help

I have a few links under "favorites" that i can't permanently delete. I tried going through my computer icon-windows-favorites to delete, it deleted. From there i go to favorites bar at the top of the screen and delete them as well. Mind you i have no idea how these links are in there, as i never bookmarked them. Recycle bin to empty the links, then i delete all the temp internet files. Restart the pc, and the links pop back up. I need to get these off here.

A few hours ago i went through the process, restarted, and the links were gone. Now i come back on a few hours later, and the links pop back up. I can't seem to get rid of them for nothin. If someone knows how to get rid of this stuff post here. Thanks in advance.
 
try wiping anything and everything in your temp internet folder. maybe theres a cookie thats addig these automatically?
 
What links are they? Some programs automatically add Favorites to your menu.

Also, if you have multiple user profiles, they could be under the All Users profile.

You can right-click on your start button, and hit explore, and if you see a profiles directory in the Windows directory, look for All Users.
 
There links to some bullshit porno sites that i never bookmarked. I'm the only one who uses this pc, so i dont have multiple user profiles. I just want them out of there cause they don't belong there, i don't know how they got there in the first place.

Okay, they're in your registry then. Someone was surfing porn on your PC, and there are certain sites that will make themselves permanent bookmarks.

You have to run regedit, search for them, and delete them.

If you're not experienced with regedit, I'd find someone who is to do it for you. You can SERIOUSLY screw up your PC.
 
There are 3 total links under my favorites that need to go. One link is under the "links" folder, and the other two are just there, under no particular folder.
 
Ah great. I figured it was something permanent. Looks like i'll just have to let them be then. This is bullshit. Thanks for the pointers.
 
Where is regedit on the pc? I guess i will run that and try to figure out if i can find them in there and delete them. If not i'll leave as is. I'm not lookin to screw up my system over a few links, but i'd like them out.
 
What OS are you running.

Go to start->run and type msconfig. If that pops up, see if you can see anything in there related to porn. There are a lot of ways to do it. Most likely it's a registry entry like theproject said.
