IE7 command bar resets every time?

I've removed all the commands from the toolbar, but each time I open IE7 they're all back.

I don't want nor need any of them.

I'm using Vista Home Premium, all updates.

Anyone else noticed this?

EDIT: Never mind, I used this registry change to disable it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\CommandBar]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000
 
Tried unchecking 'Lock the toolbars' before you use 'Customize' to remove the toolbar icons?

That's just a guess, of course.


Edit: Okay. Nice tweak, for those who'd want to do that.
 
Yeah, IE7 is a bit of a bitch when it comes to removing that bar. I'd seen that Registry edit someplace and lost it, so thanks for bringing it to my (and most everyone else's) attention once again.

The other one I like is this one that puts the Toolbars (Menu Bar, Links, etc) above the Address Bar where they should have always been:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser]
"ITBar7Position"=dword:00000001

Also, pressing Alt makes the Menu Bar appear/disappear, but you probably already knew that one. :)

ps
Interesting thing I noted: under XP running IE7, that Registry patch needs a bit of modification (the Command Bar one). I'm not running Vista at this moment sooo... for anyone using IE7 under XP, this is the proper one since I can't for the life of me get that one gruun posted to work until I realized the issue:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\CommandBar]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

Under XP, the relevant Key is under HKEY_CURRENT_USER and not HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. I'm about to reinstall Vista here shortly for some more testing (True Image ftw!!!) and I'll report my findings, but so far, across XP and Vista, most if not all of the IE7 Registry edits and mods need to be under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER section... of course, I could be missing something, but on my machine, it only affects IE7 when it's under HKCU and not HKLM.
