I've been looking for some time for a way to remove IE functionality ...

If I can get this working I'll be extremely happy ...

I'm trying to run the reg file with regedit in Windows 98 but I get the following error:

"Cannot import C:\HIDEME~1.REG: The specified file is not a registry script. You can

import only registry files."

I'm a reg noob so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I have a feeling this is just for XP.

Open it up in Win98 with an editor that can read Unicode format.

Copy and paste into Win98 notepad and save as ANSI format.

Change 'Windows Registry Editor 5.00' or whatever it says on the first line to 'REGEDIT4'

The error returned was:

Sorry, some required files are missing, if you intended to view a topic, it's possible that it's been moved or deleted. Please go back and try again.

:no:

'hide menu_hide addressbar' worked for me last time. link empty now. 'hide menubar' keeps address bar open even if unchecked. hmmmm. reformatted and lost so if someone has former regfix a repost would be greatly appreciated. tia :)

I couldn't edit my previous post, I guess there is a time cut-off.

I managed to do it, by testing around with values and comparing it with other versions. I made two simple .reg patches - one to install, one to uninstall and turn everything back to windows defaults. If you have changed it in any way prior to installing this patch, back up the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\ShellBrowser

If you want address bar only in explorer, download the compressed file below. :)

addressbar_only.zip

right click the toolbar > uncheck "standard buttons."

If I do that, the menu just comes back. I believe it is possible to get it done with resource hacker and file replacement, but if it would feel so much safer to do it with a registry entry instead.

    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
