You'll need to edit the shellstyle file found in the theme you are using.
To save my typing finger, here's how to do it. Link Removed - Invalid URL

If you need any help then just give me a shout!

It is hard coded into Windows explorer. There is no way to remove it except by a hack. Elmers suggestion may be worth a try.

PS: To permanently disable or hide Command Bar, add following code after <style resid="FolderBandStyle"> line:

<Element padding="rect(0rp,0rp,0rp,-28rp)"/>​

Hi Elmer!
i edited shellstyle.dll in c:\windows\Resources\Themes\Aero\Shell\NormalColor\ and it worked.. thank you.

I believe the "hack" is supposed to work like that (Mouse hover.)

Edit later. My post here refers to a follow up from the op, which has vanished. The "hack" only worked when the mouse was moved, it seemed.

I think you have use a third party tool to remove it because in windows there is no default feature to remove it so try any third party tool.
