Disabling Your IE7 Command Bar

Posted on November 28th, 2008 in Internet Browsers by admin

If you use or have used IE7 you will have noticed that new bar at the top of the page, this is the command bar. The command bar comes with these menu choices;

  • Home
  • Feeds
  • Read mail
  • Print
  • Page
  • Tools
IE7 Command Bar

Some people do like this feature on IE7 and quite a few more have emailed me asking just how they can disable the command bar. Disabling the command bar in IE7 is fairly easy but it does require a registry edit so if you are unsure make sure you backup your registry before you attempt anything.

Disabling the IE7 Command Bar

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\CommandBar\

  • Create a DWORD called enabled
  • Set the value to 0
  • Done
  • Set the value to 1 if you want it back again
