Trouble:

We received an email from one of our readers asking":

Ho to get rid of the Suggested Site button in Internet Explorer?

By his question, I felt that he is bothered about the place it consumes in the header of the Internet Explorer. You can see that it takes some space as shown in the snapshot below:

In this article I will tell you a quick tip to hide the bar to increase the visible area in Internet Explorer.

Fix:

The fix is really simple, just right click at the side of these buttons, it will show you some check options like this:

Just un-check the Favorites Bar option as highlighted in red above. This will hide the entire favorite bar row hiding the Suggested Sites Button. If you want it back, simple check the setting again and it will come back.

Please leave a comment if you know another method to hide or show the same.

Internet Explorer crashes with a message "Iexplore.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close"

Rohit — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 23:20:03 +0000

Trouble:

One of our readers reported a problem with windows Internet Explorer, according to him suddenly at any time Internet Explorer closes abruptly with a message box which says

“Iexplore.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience”

If you click the Click here link at the bottom of the message box, error signature information that is similar to the following error signature information may appear:

App name: Iexplore.exe
App version: 6.0.2800.1106
Module name: Mo030414s.dll
Module version: 1.0.0.0
Offset: 000294cc

The signature may also list one of the following files instead of the mo030414s.dll file:

M030106shop.dll, M030206pohs.dll, Mdefshop.dll, Moaa030425s.dll, Moz030715s.dll

Fix:

This problem occurs because one of the following third party browser helper objects (BHO) is installed on your computer:

• BuyersPort

• Morpheus

• Morpheus Shopping Club

• WURLD Shopping Community

So you need to uninstall these browser helper objects from your Internet Explorer in order to resolve the IE crashing issue.

Follow the step by step procedure given below to uninstall these browser helper objects:

How to uninstall the browser helper objects:

1. Start >> Run and type iexplore

2. Go to Tools > Manage Add-ons > Enable or Disable Add-ons

3. A “Manage Add-ons ” dialog box will appear.

You can click the “Show” pull-down to only Show Add-ons currently loaded in Internet Explorer, or all add-ons used by Internet Explorer.

4. A list will show each add-on’s name, publisher, status, type, and file related to the add-on.
5. To disable an add-on, select the add-on then click the “Disable” radio button at the bottom left of the window.
