In this post I will going to show you how you can remove the "I Like It" and "Tags & Notes" buttons from the ribbon in SharePoint 2010. These buttons are location at the top right corner of your SharePoint site.
No doubt these are excellent features and very useful for document collaboration. For example, users can "Like" content on their site as well other sites and then later access all the content they've liked from one spot. Similarly, they can also tag the document which is more advanced and help users to locate content more easily.
Even though "I Like It" and "Tags & Notes" feature in SharePoint 2010 offers great benefits not every organisation want these buttons on their internal or external websites. There is an easy way to turn these features off and it can be done using Central Administration as below.
Open Central Administration > System Settings > Manage Farm Features
Locate "Social Tags and Note Board Ribbon Controls" feature and click Deactivate button and deactivate the feature.
Go back to your site and notice how the buttons went away after we deactivated them.
