Hiding the Windows Explorer AddressBar
by Bob Swipes » Thu, 04 Mar 2004 20:59:30 GMT
I just 'inherited' a group of computers for which I need
to disable the AddressBar in Windows Explorer. All the
users have personalized settings & are power users.
The 'boss' wants to disable/hide the address bar in
Windows Explorer on all the computers for all the users. I
am able to hide the Internet Explorer (not what I need,
really) addressbar by setting
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Toolbars\Restrictions\NoAddressBar to 1. I can
also prevent the users from changing their toolbar
settings by setting
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Exp
lorer\NoBandCustomize to 1. This keeps them from changing
toolbars settings but it doesn't remove the address bar.
Any ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
