if i saw it correct, there is a way using policies,

add 'policy for local computer' to MMC, and find the setting yourself...
(above is a translation, so the actual name might be somewhat different)

Why, you ask?

Because, in spite of all the work Microsoft invested to make IE 8 the
most secure, most standards-compliant, most privacy-protecting Internet
Explorer ever, the only thing that matters to some people is whether
they can get rid of the gold star.

There is a page that purports to provide Registry tweaks for various
pathetic design "features" of IE.
http://jalaj.net/2007/01/01/tweaking...rnet-explorer/

Note: I tried the one list (Btn_Favorites) but it doesn't seem to work for
me. Note that this post is old, but it might be a step to solving this
"feature".

Of course, you could take the MS MVP's wonderful suggestion and uninstall
IE8 completely. It is, after all, a piece of crap.

Lol..."tweak" now and suffer later.

Er...why would moving/hiding a button be something for which one could
"suffer later"? I hate the fact that some things need to be done via the
Registry, but moving/hiding a button shouldn't cause issues at all. If it
does, there is something fundamentally wrong with the application.

When you force software to do something it was not designed to do,
eventually it will come back to bite you. This is particularly true when
that software is your operating system. You do not know the software
code, so you can't predict what effect your 'tweak' will have on other
parts of the software.

Then, weeks, months or even years later, when a major upgrade or service
pack crashes your computer, you'll come back to this newsgroup and rant
and rave "how dare that lousy Microsoft mess up my computer with their
crappy software..." etc. etc. and it will be your own fault.

I could go on to say that if a button on a toolbar bothers you so much
that you'd rather hack your operating system than ignore it, you've got
issues a computer can't solve. Do you hack your TV because you don't
like the look of its menus? Do you hack the dashboard of your car?
