When IE imported internet links from another browser into the Favorites

Now it is causing problems and not IE or anything else I've tried will
edit
or delete the name. It always displays an error saying, "cannot read from
the source file or disk ".

Is there anything to do but ignore it? At one time I would have thought
about editing a character in a HD sector, changing the slash to a letter
or
space, but I don't even know if there is such an editor for windows.

If you can browse to it, KillBox can generally delete it with extreme
prejudice:

Thanks. The problem is that it is not a file, but a folder. KillBox just
says:

"This file does not seem to exist."
