I can't get rid of it either........ It stays stuck behind my tabs. It is in my way and I don't like it.

Tim, If you drag the Favorites button (with "Lock the Toolbars" unchecked) down onto the Tab bar before you uncheck the Favorites bar, it will stay in the Tab bar after you uncheck the Favorites bar, saving you an entire row. Complete removal of the Favorites button (without also removing the Tab bar) is still the unsolved problem.

This does not help. I stil have the favorites button, and as someone else said, an entire row dedicated to it. I may as well turn favorites bar back on, as this row does nothing for me.

The IE8 development team at Microsoft seemingly refuses to acknowledge that someone might actually *not* find the 'Favorites' button to be the best thing since Sliced Bread™. You're stuck with it, whether you ever need it or not.

But is there any way to remove the Favorites button altogether?

Thank you very much. That was a problem for me. With ie8 I am experiencing scrolling down a page without wanting to. i.e. I try to highlight a link and can't get to it as the page keeps scrolling down to the end. Do you have a fix for this?

I already have the Favorites Bar and Command Bar hidden.

I am now left with an entire row consisting of solely the Favorites Button.

The Add to Favorites Button is already hidden since it is part of the Favorites Bar.

Since I don't use Tabs this row is just taking up space.

I had this row hidden in Internet Explorer 7.

Does anyone know the registry edit to fix this?

Thanks.
