Internet Explorer 7 Toolbar - Menu Bar - Status Bar

Toggle Displaying the Links Toolbar

SUMMARY: Completely disable Internet Explorer 7's Links Toolbar to save space for web pages, or enable a disabled toolbar.

Internet Explorer 7's Links bar, designated by the "Links" text and normally underneath the address bar, provides convenient to frequently-used websites. However, some people may not wish to clutter up their Internet Explorer 7 user interface with this extra toolbar, allowing extra room onscreen to be used by the web pages themselves.

To toggle the Links bar on or off:

1. Right-click an empty area in the tab bar (next to one of your tabs).

2. Check or uncheck "Links" as desired.
