How do you remove the "Favorite Links" pane from
Windows Explorer?

Hi Gary,

Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer? It should not appear in the former,
and in the latter simply click view/toolbars/links (as it will already be
checked).

I'm not sure you can remove just the "Favorite Links"...
But you can delete the shortcuts that are there,
or you can drag the Folders pane up to cover it up,
or you can turn off the Navigation pane entirely (Organize - Layout)

All I can think of is to drag the divider all the way to the left.
