You need to go to your extensions in settings and turn them all off and then delete them, it is very easy.
In internet explorer settings? sorry, like I said above, no expert here.
Is this for IE/Win 8.1, JAKraig? I see that IE/Win 8.1 has add-ons, but am unclear about the extensions.
Typically, I advise people NOT to use IE, but some work-related stuff or frequently-used sites require it, and some people were weaned on it, and are uncomfortable with other browsers.
I suppose I'll have to investigate the newest incarnation(s).
