View Explorer Bar Folders

[Margy]

All of a sudden, when I do a search on Google, it turns on
the Folders view in the Explorer Bar (View > Explorer Bar

Folders). I don't like this view and always turn it

off. Next time I open IE6, it happens again.

How can I turn this option off permanently?

Margy,

Try this:

Reset the toolbar setting from Registry using this fix:
http://mvps.org/sramesh2k/reg/IEToolbar.reg

The Folder bar setting is stored in the same registry key for toolbars.

Thanks for the reply, but that didn't fix the problem
(irritation).

I've since tried a few other search engines, i.e.
AltaVista Search, About, and Yahoo, and they all open the
Browser Bar, too. HotBot, Ask Jeeves, Webcrawler, and
Excite did not. Could the search engines be setting this
view on their own?

I hate the Browser Bar view (folders or otherwise) and am
really annoyed that I can't get it permanently disabled.
Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Margy
