How to remove the "clear Internet Traces" icon button in the IE Address bar

Today on the computer installed a more popular online player, after installation again open IE browser, will pop up to enable the player add-in prompts, this thought is to use the tool to watch video online, the launch of the add-in is also necessary to start the add-in. Then found in IE's address bar more than a "brush" the same blue icon, click on the icon will pop up "clear traces of the Internet" related options.

This thought is also acceptable, for IE browser added a quick way to clear the history of IE, but then found that the function is not only increased the "clear the Internet Traces" shortcut method so simple, but also replaced the IE Address bar in the original Drop-down box, the following figure. This caused me to enter the URL in the address bar when the very card (my IE history and temporary folder has not been cleaned up for a long time), seriously affected my experience, and then can not wait to delete them.

In this case, we generally only need to "manage Add-ins" in IE, find the appropriate add-in, and then disable it. So I first open the IE add-in Manager, select Show "All Add-ins", find the Tencent Browser Helper add-in, I want to disable the add-in, and right click on the add-in to discover that the "Disable" option is grayed out so that it cannot be disabled directly.

There are two ways to resolve this time, you can use the Cleanup tool to force the add-in to be deleted, or you can uninstall the Add-in's installer directly.

Method 1: Force deletion of the add-in. Action steps can refer to this article and then delete the Tencent Browser Helper and SSup.dll add-in when selected.

Method 2: Uninstall the add-in's installer. First click on the "Windows" icon in the lower-left corner, enter "programs and features" in the search box, and then open "programs and Features" by clicking the "Enter" return button. Then in the right-hand list find "Search update Service" and "Tencent Search E-Pass", and then double-click the two items to uninstall it.

In the reopening of IE browser, IE address bar in the "clear the Internet Traces" icon is not missing, the address bar Drop-down box back to the default of IE.
