Note
This setting has been deprecated in Windows® 8. The information about this deprecated setting is provided for reference only. Users can still make this menu appear in Internet Explorer for the desktop.

The Favorites bar provides a place to add links to favorite webpages. The Favorites bar supports all Internet Explorer content types (for example, favorites, feeds, and monitored links). If the EnableLinksBar value is set to false, the end user can still activate the Favorites bar manually.

If the Favorites bar is hidden, the end user can still make it appear.
