Occasionally, I accidently press CTRL+E on the keyboard and display the "Search" Explorer Bar. The annoying little toolbar will freeze up my IE and just loop.
Worst thing is that it'll come back every time I load the browser, making it impossible to use anymore.
So, into the registry I go, hunting down the option to remove the toolbar!
Simply remove this registry key and all will be well.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser\ITBarLayout
Next time the browser will open, it shouldn't show that search bar anymore.
