Removing the gold star favorites icon from I.E.

This is the gold star favorites icon to the left of the browser. I have looked all over for a way to remove this from I.E. there is no way to right click and remove this, no GPO, no reg key hack (already tried the ones on different sites) Has anyone ever gotten rid of this? We are trying to prevent users from being able to access this on a kiosk computer.

Which version of IE are you talking about, and on which version(s) of Windows? Are the kiosks on a domain, and if so, what version of Windows server is the domain level set to?

I wasn't aware that you could remove it.
