To turn off a toolbar:

2. Click the View menu option, then Toolbars.
3. All of the toolbars currently being displayed will show with check next to it.
   
   
   
   
4. To disable the Toolbar, click the toolbar you wish to turn off.
5. If you are using Internet Explorer 9, you may receive a message asking if you wish to disable the toolbar. If so, click Disable. The toolbar will no longer be displayed.
   
   
   
   
6. If there is more than one toolbar you wish to disable, simply repeat the process.
7. To re-enable or turn the Toolbar back on, simply press Alt to display the Menu bar. Click View » Toolbars. Click on the toolbar to display it again.

   • Browsing History: Information on the sites you have visited.
