I have a "favorites" listed on my toolbar, but there are several items in it that I would like to delete.  But ... I don't know how to.  Would someone please tell me how, in a language an elderly, non computer savy, person could understand?  Thank you kindly!

Right-click any item, and a 'Delete' option should be near the bottom of the menu that appears.

Another method you may try:

1)  Click on "Favorites" (in the upper tool bar)

2)  Select "Organize Favorites"

3)  A small window will open where all of your

    favorites are listed. 

    Click on the item to be removed to highlight it,

    then Click on the Delete button at the bottom.

4)  The Organize Favorites window will remain open

     to allow more items to be deleted.

    Can you let me know what happens when you right-click the icon and choose the "Delete" option? 

    Hundreds and hundreds of people have said that worked for them, and I'm sure we can get yours fixed also.

    So, what I asked was "How do I delete a Favorite?" What I meant by this is I have some listings in my Favorites, for quick access, that I no longer need, so I want to delete them. What you sent me was no help.
