Yahoo Toolbar won’t go away
So yesterday I upgraded my Yahoo toolbar – I heard that they had a tabbed browsing feature, just like the MSN/Windows Live Toolbar.
But now whenever I uncheck the Yahoo toolbar from the View->Toolbars menu choice in Internet Explorer, the Yahoo toolbar renables itself when I launch a new instance of IE! This didn’t happen before. And it doesn’t happen with the Google or Windows Live Toolbar.
I wonder what I can do to fix this short of uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar.
Update: Of the 4 machines I’ve used recently, this happens on 2 of them – including my tablet. How strange…

FWIW, it worked for me. I installed it, unchecked it, and new windows no longer had the Yahoo! toolbar installed. Maybe it’s an interaction with another toolbar. I don’t have any other 3rd party toolbar installed.

This no repros on my desktop, only my tablet, and the machine we use for usability. Wacky.

The thing is crazy. I have uninstalled it, cleared all history and cookies and rebooted, and it’s still there. How the F can I get rid of it?
