Description: On right-clicking the taskbar, theres an item toolbars which lists different toolbars that can be added to the taskbar. These toolbars can be activated/deactivated by applying/removing the tick marks on the menu item. This setting hides the toolbars option from the context menu. That is, it prevents users from changing the tick marks that cause the quick launch bar, address bar and links on your taskbar to either show or hide. For example, you can not make the address bar disappear or reappear this setting is useful in a kiosk, library, or public outlets where you don't want users to change toolbars selection on taskbar. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. If the subkey \explorer does not exist, create it as explained below. Then, create a dword value notoolbarsontaskbar in the right panel. Now, right-click and modify its value to "1" which can disable the ability to show toolbars on the taskbar. However, if you want to get back to the original state, change the value to "0" or delete the added value. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
