Thanks, but VIEW---TOOLBAR was the first thing I tried.
No matter what you click, it stays there. So I tried your
suggestion in Control Panel, which is unable to uninstall
the yahoo toolbar; I guess it's set up to protect itself
from automatic uninstall. I can't find the file that
controls it, so I can't directly delete it. I think I'll
sue Yahoo!
