Hello, I hope this note finds everyone doing well. I am having a problem with my computer here at work. It runs Windows NT4, and uses Internet Explorer 6. My problem is a file that has turned up broken in my Favorites. I am changing PCs and I wanted to clean up/delete old folders in File Manager (I know -- very old school!) Unfortunately, every time I click on the folder to delete it File Manager will not let me. It gives me the error message "The system cannot find the file specified."
It is strange; you can still go to the website here:

However, if you try to save it to Favorites (like I must have done a long time ago), the link is saved broken and you can neither open it again from Favorites or delete it. Further, this file has somehow turned up 3 times in 3 different places in my system, arrgh!
I called Microsoft support but alas, they were no help at all. They said since Windows NT is an "obsolete" program they can offer no support. I have downloaded all kinds of freeware and shareware that promised to search for and delete broken files, but they only do so for file extensions .lnk, not .url. I have spent hours on this and I am at my wits end! Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.
Kindest regards,
CatBlue
