Hi Sreenivas,

are you talking about the Return link in Report Viewer (see attached <screenshot.png>)?  Apologies if I have misunderstood.

If so - it is one of the elements that you can hide if you edit system.xml .  The IBM Infocenter describes the steps needed in detail at

http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/cbi/v10r1m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.swg.im.cognos.ug_cra.10.1.0.doc%2Fug_cra_id36310CustomizetheUserInterfaceBasedonGroupandR.html (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/cbi/v10r1m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.swg.im.cognos.ug_cra.10.1.0.doc%2Fug_cra_id36310CustomizetheUserInterfaceBasedonGroupandR.html)

and there's a list of the elements you can hide at the page:

http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/cbi/v10r1m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.swg.im.cognos.ug_cra.10.1.0.doc%2Fug_cra_id53939ElementsYouCanHide.html (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/cbi/v10r1m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.swg.im.cognos.ug_cra.10.1.0.doc%2Fug_cra_id53939ElementsYouCanHide.html)

where you'll find the Return Link mentioned as <RV_HEADER_MENU_RETURN/>

One more important thing to note - make sure you take a backup of your original system.xml file before editing it, so that you can easily revert to the original settings if necessary.

All the best,

Simon
