I see there is now a Search Bar on the Home Page between Top showing Icons and the Options for Quick Links. It is not functional for my purpose and would like to remove or at the least hide.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I don't think you can. There's very little customization available.
This worked for me:
1-Close Quickbooks
2- Go to C:\Programdata/intuit/Quickbooks/20xx. Programdata folder is hidden so you have to unhide it or simply do a search for qbw.ini file in your C: drive.
3- Double click on qbw.ini
4- Go to the bottom of the page and add the following:
[Selfhelpplugin]
Enabled=0
5- Save the file and open quickbooks.

None of the solutions here worked for me. After hours of changes and testing, this is what DID work for me:
1) obviously backup your company FIRST
2) Go to View and turn on the top icon bar
3) go to View and uncheck the search bar ( in my case it was already unchecked, so I turned it on with a check then unchecked it again)
4) go to view and choose left icon bar ( or no icon bar if you prefer)
5) Close Quickbooks
6) create a backup copy of the QBW.INI file in C:\ProgramData\INTUIT\QuickBooksXXXX
7) open the original QBW.INI with a text editor ( I used NOTEPAD)
-> the top of my QBW.INI had the following:
[WINDOWSTATE]
LEFT=9
TOP=0
WIDTH=132
HEIGHT=385
STATE=1
[QUICKSTART]
QBSILENT=N
Etc .......
-> I deleted the [WINDOWSTATE] section (everything below it up to the next heading). In my case, I deleted:
[WINDOWSTATE]
LEFT=9
TOP=0
WIDTH=132
HEIGHT=385
STATE=1
->Now my QBW.INI file starts with :
[QUICKSTART]
QBSILENT=N
TIMESQBGOESTOBACKGROUND=10
DAYSSINCELAUNCH=7
[MISC]
IPNDEFAULT=1
Etc ..........
8) save and close
9) Start Quickbooks. I closed and restarted several times and the search bar was gone each time. It has not returned yet.....
Good Luck!
