Working on some thinstations with XP/IE8 today and needed to implement removal of Address/NavBar and could not find it in the GPO. Came across someone who created the magic and I will share this information.
NOTE: There is an extra line feed at the bottom; make sure you include this in your file. =)
Create a new file in notepad and save the following as DisableIENav.adm
, for example…
class user category IESettings policy "disable/hide IE command bar" keyname "softwarepoliciesmicrosoftinternet explorertoolbarsrestrictions" explain "here is the explaination" valuename "NoCommandBar" valueon numeric 1 valueoff numeric 0 end policy policy "disable/hide IE nav bar" keyname "SoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftInternet ExplorerToolbarsRestrictions" explain "here is the explaination" valuename "NoNavBar" valueon numeric 1 valueoff numeric 0 end policy end category
