Views Bar Begone Forever!

[Ronc]

I uncheck the box but it comes back after restart. I always want to show
all messages and this bar takes up too much space.

Sometimes you have to disable it multiple times and it eventually sticks.

Steve,

I have disabled this bar and the search bar many many times. I don't even
shut down my computer, and they always come back! What is the deal?

It might be a security program blocking the Registry change it needs to
make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be
uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you
reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change.
