I've been finding little blue arrows have been appearing on the right
Edited on Sun Oct-03-10 02:44 PM by Joe Chi Minh
of my Favourites, purportedly for opening the site in a new window, it seems.

They used to work fine, whether in a new window or not (the new screen seemed to overlay the screen I was on), but when I click on it or right-click and Open, nothing happens. I know some no longer work because they are copyright-protected, and the obviously want you to navigate to it personally. But there is no mention of that.

I Googled the question, downloaded a freeware called AM-DeadLink, clicked on a few icons on the top command bar, but no further forward. If anyone could help me with this, I'd be very grateful. I'd like to get rid of the blue arrows all together, as my Favourites worked fine without them, before.

If anyone could help me with this, I'd be very grateful.

My Windows version is XP, Internet Explorer 8.

PS - I've noticed it works with the arrow with some sites; the ones that don't work are a lighter grey in colour.

1. Do you mean
...that when you click the "Favorites" menu at the top of your browser, all your bookmarks have little blue arrows that weren't there before?

4. Yes and yes, blogslut, except that that arrow is horizontal, not diagonal.
