Here's how to remove them under Unix; I have no idea how to do the
equivalent under MacOS or Windows.

Add the following lines to your X resources to remove the shopping,
search, and destinations buttons:

    Netscape*toolBar.myshopping.isEnabled: false
    Netscape*toolBar.search.isEnabled: false
    Netscape*toolBar.destinations.isEnabled: false
