What If: You can't remove columns from a View

I ran into an issue where I could add columns to a View but I could not remove columns.  When I put the mouse over the column it switched to a hand indicating that I could click the item.  However, when I did click on the column.... nothing happened.  Usually the column header turns green letting me know that it is indeed selected.  After scouring the web and the CRM forums I found the solution,  about:blank.

 In the Trusted Sites zone in Internet Explorer you need add about:blank as a Trusted Site.  If you're not familiar with how to do this, you can follow the instructions below:

1. In Internet Explorer Click Tools -> Internet Options
2. Click the Security Tab
3. Click Trusted Sites
4. Click Sites
5. Type about:blank
6. Uncheck Requires Server Verification (if checked)
7. Click Add, then Ok

Now if you re-open CRM you will be able to remove Columns from a View.
