Disable navigation buttons in Internet Explorer toolbar.

Internet Explorer toolbar displays navigation buttons to access already visited web pages. This setting can disable the use of these buttons.

Tweak for : Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000
Internet Explorer toolbar displays navigation buttons to access already visited web pages. With the “Back” and “Forward” navigation buttons, you can browse through such pages. However, this setting can disable the use of these buttons in the Internet Explorer toolbar.

Important:
Even if you enable the navigation buttons in Internet Explorer, all the open Internet Explorer windows will not show this effect.

For this, go to Start > Run, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a DWORD value “NoNavButtons” at HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry paths, if this value does not exist.

Now, right-click and modify the value to “1” which can disable the navigation buttons. However, if you want to get back to the original state, change the value to “0”.

Restart Internet Explorer for the changes to take effect.

NOTE:
This feature works on Internet Explorer version 5 and above.
