Hmmm... I am wrong in my assumptions.
I didn't think I had the extensions in (I have never used them) but I
see now that I do have them and have had them since I installed the
bar, according to my install log. Sorry about that.
I don't have Page Info checked but that makes no difference as you
say.
When I installed the bar, these are the four Registry keys that were
created to form the Google menu extensions you mentioned:
[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\MenuExt\Cac&hed Snapshot of Page]
@="res://C:\\PROGRAM FILES\\GOOGLE\\GOOGLETOOLBAR1.DLL/cmcache.html"
"Contexts"=hex:21,00,00,00
[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\MenuExt\Si&milar Pages]
@="res://C:\\PROGRAM FILES\\GOOGLE\\GOOGLETOOLBAR1.DLL/cmsimilar.html"
"Contexts"=hex:21,00,00,00
[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\MenuExt\Backward &Links]
@="res://C:\\PROGRAM
FILES\\GOOGLE\\GOOGLETOOLBAR1.DLL/cmbacklinks.html"
"Contexts"=hex:21,00,00,00
[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\MenuExt\Translate Page]
@="res://C:\\PROGRAM FILES\\GOOGLE\\GOOGLETOOLBAR1.DLL/cmtrans.html"
"Contexts"=hex:21,00,00,00
I just closed IE, removed the keys, reopened IE and the menu
extensions are gone.
I don't see any way of removing them without resorting to a Registry
edit or by using an application like ToolbarCop.
The crossover between the Google Bar and another toolbar in
View-Toolbars is common but does not seem to cause any harm.
