SYMPTOMS
When you start Microsoft Internet Explorer, if the Search bar is open and a search starts by default, Internet Explorer may stop responding (hang) if the search is not finished for any reason.
RESOLUTIONWARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve
problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk.
If you cannot get Internet Explorer to respond, delete the ITBarLayout value from the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser
This restores Internet Explorer to only one pane.
