How to remove this damn explorer bar ?
Hello,
Like I said in the title, I'd know how to remove the bar under Search field, a screenshot to view what I'd mean :

It's the green-blue bar in Aero style.

I tried by doing right click but there isn't any option. Is there any way to remove it definitely? (Like some regedit handling ?)

Thanks in advance.

Look in the View -> Toolbars menu. Or even just the View menu.

Thanks but i don't want to mean IE, I'd mean Explorer (The explorer to browse through PC's HDD.) I don't use this meaningless IE, I use FF too.

Oops ... I spend so little time on Vista, I didn't recognize it.
Maybe I should've said, that's why I use XP

That is the "Built In" tool bar of Windows Explorer and can NOT be removed.

Gotta' call you on that one Dave, I don't have that toolbar, and I didn't do anything special to not have it.

Thats Internet Explorer again John, he is talking about Windows Explorer.

I Think Dave is right on this one, I haven't seen an option to get rid of the toolbar either, the one where when looking at files you can choose FILE, Large Icon, Small Icons, Detail, etc. Seems to be built in.
