Stopping IE8 from providing commands in the history list

October 26, 2010 6:35 PM

Internet Explorer 8. It's got the ability to delete individual items in address bar history by clicking little icons in the history list. I want it to stop.

Here is a screenshot showing the behavior I want to stop.

I have to use Microsoft CRM for work. I have to use IE to use CRM. I don't want to revert to IE7.
The bottom line is that I want to eliminate those little commands on the far right of the address history dropdown.

Anyone have any suggestions re: how to do that?

A quick google search seems to suggest that it is not possible to remove them. A workaround is to install a third-party address bar as they mention in that thread. I can't vouch for it at all though (I use Opera).
