I agree with Mathias and am very disappointed in Microsoft for not making a
reasonable solution to the reoccurring Links folder in Favorites available.  
I kept trying to eliminate this folder and wasted alot of time in doing so.  
I also waste alot of time on other silly things related to software, so I
guess its no big deal.  It all boils down to poor documentation.  The Help
and Support features don't help at all, and the way they are organized makes
even less sense.  I too, wish not to have to disrupt my entire operating
system folders and files visibility to get rid of this annoying little
folder.  The authors of the latest software Help documentation would greatly
benefit from broad exposure to the organization methods used in libraries for
centuries.
