I noticed that you also have SnagIt as a choice. I would like to remove that specific toolbar. However, it returns with each new window even when I disable it. Is there any way to permanently remove it?

TechSmith's support site has an entry on that.

In Windows Explorer, how do I remove the toolbar-like context menu that appears at the bottom of the files list. It takes up one inch of space!
It says "Make new folder; publish this folder; etc.
It is reminiscent of "view as web page" which also wasted valuable window space.
Why does Windows seem to get harder and more annoying to use with every new version, removing commonly used features, or burying them?

How to remove "Yahoo! Search" from the top right of my screen?
It's not in the add/remove programs list, & when I right click on it all I get is copy/paste, right to left reading order, & 'unicode' options.
Is there any way to remove this search bar?
Thanks

You can disable and uninstall all these nasties with the Spybot S&D from http://www.spybot.info

I had the same problem with the !@#$% Google toolbar which was coming back all the time but Spybot S&D deleted the corresponding registry entries and that was the end of it

I have been carefull to never install Google toolbar, but then there it was! So I went to add /remove and tried to remove it and it caused the page to flash, but the Google toolbar was still there. Refused to remove!

Ok then I went into programs and found the Google folder and deleted it. Then went to manage add ons and disabled the Google toolbar and the browser helper for google.

It's still in the add/remove list, but now when I search I get bumped from search engine to search engine, without control.

Also had Yahoo bar at one time, came with Adobe, but that did remove itself when I tried add/remove. I don't actually see Google toolbar now when searching, but have been shoved into searching roulette, with engines I never used to use coming up without asking.I just did a full restore about 2 weeks ago, and was just getting it the way I wanted it when this Google toolbar screwed it all up. It seems to be packaged with just about everything and if I wanted it don't they think I'd have gotten it without it being shoved down my throat...

This is so very ironic as I have Google as my home page and prefer to actually use Google as my search engine most of the time manually.But now I can start a search manually on Google and end up at Ask Jeeves or wherever. Insane! Is there a chance that there is a fake Google toolbar out there that is actually spyware?

NetZero: I would assume/hope there's an entry in Add/Remove programs.
