Some of the settings can be restricted for standard users and some for users with less knowledge. It isn’t necessary to disable the only setting that the users use, but you can also disable the setting that you don’t need. Windows 10 comes with many features and not each one of them is used by most of the users.
Disabling Toolbars through the Local Group Policy Editor
The Group Policy is a tool that offers a centralized way of configuring and managing the Windows operating system. An administrator can use the Local Group Policy Editor to enable and disable different types of settings in their Windows. There is a specific setting for enabling and disabling the toolbars on Taskbar. Enabling this setting will gray out the toolbars option that you can access through the Taskbar. Note: The Group Policy Editor isn’t available in the Windows Home Editions and if you are using it, then skip this method.
Disabling Toolbars through the Registry Editor
Basically, the Group Policy will modify and update your Windows Registry. However, if you don’t have the Group Policy Editor available on your system, then you can directly modify the Registry manually. This will require a few technical steps for creating the missing key or value for that specific setting. We recommend users to create a backup of Windows Registry before making any new changes. This is because any wrong configuration in the Windows Registry will cause issues in the system.
