The "Links" toolbar is really a great feature.
Trouble is, many of us do not use it at all. -AND- It cannot be deleted!
WE would like to reclaim some of the wasted real estate on our desktops, and deleting an empty, unused Links" toolbar would help to achieve that  goal...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Browser
2.Select View>Toolbars>Customize
3.Look for any hint that the "Links" Toolbas can be deleted
4.Go to the help resources and find absolutely any information on this...

Actual Results:  
Able to empty the toolbar of all reference to the links themselves.
However...I now have a huge grayed-out area in the empty "Links" Toolbar...

Expected Results:  
I expected it to allow me to delete "Links".
It did not allow me to delete the "Links" toolbar.

It should have allowed me to delete the "Links" toolbar.

This bug is invalid, I'm afraid.  "Links" is the Internet Explorer name for the similar feature in that product.
