IE8 How Remove Favorites Folder From Favorites
This appears to be the same as the old links folder. But the old registry hack (rename string to blank value) to remove it does not work. It comes right back. How do I remove this folder permenantly? Its a real pain in the ass. Google turns up nothing of value.
Favorite bar in Favorites
I tried all these suggestions and none worked. I never had it checked in tools. Maybe I'm a neat freak but I hate that thing.
Got stuck following directions...
I followed the directions and everything was fine until I got to "window components". The next thing was to be "Internet Explorer" but it did not show up. I did every step over several times but always got stuck in the same place. No Internet Explorer to click on.
IT WORKED! THAT DAMN THING IS GONE!

In gpedit.msc, try View > Filter in there UNselect all checkboxes.
If filter is off and you still have no template for Internet Explorer try to add it.
Rightclick Administrative Templates and select Add/Remove Template.
In the next window click Add and select inetres.adm and close the window.
WOW...it worked and the favorites bar is now grayed out in tools just like you said. YOU are really smart! That is a complicated procedure that no one I know would be able to do it. I will save these directions to help a family member. They call me from time to time and ask questions. I mostly say, "you got me!?" Thanks again. If you are not a computer programmer...you should be!
