Just got IE 8 there, probably shouldn't have as I don't like change

Can I remove the "suggested sites" option from the toolbar ? It's taking up space for precious links. I've got it disabled but the damn thing is taking up space and I don't wanna see it. Can it be shit canned ?

Did you even try right clicking the Suggested links button?

Put your mouse over it as if you were going to click.
Right click instead.
Go down to delete.
Click on delete.
Click on yes I want to delete.

Cheers. Didn't realise it'd be that simple.

Now, just gotta turn off the site suggestions autocomplete thing where it gives you your history and favourites when you type in the address bar.


Edit: Found out how to do this.

Click on "Tools" -> "Internet Options"-> Click on the middle tab called "Content"

The third section down is called "AutoComplete"

Click on the "settings" button in the "AutoComplete" section

In the window that pops up, you'll see the ability to control
how your address bar uses AutoComplete.

The top check box says "Address Bar"
Under that, you will see
-Browsing history
-Favorites

Good man. Now you're using the old noggin!
