Hi Otis, ladies & gentlemen, ...

I, too, have seen this on my new notebook with Windows XP. Maybe this
is a problem with Service Pack 2 and its improved Internet Explorer
security? Or that's how I interprete it. You can work around the issue
by adding the bookmarklets into Favorites with the context menu, and
then moving them to the Links folder with the Organize Favorites
feature or simply dragging to Links *within* the Favorites menu.
