How do I remove Yahoo! Toolbar for Internet Explorer?

There are two ways to uninstall the Yahoo! Toolbar for Internet Explorer.

Option 1: Via the toolbar()

Select "Uninstall" from the Pencil button (Toolbar Settings).
Click "Uninstall" on the uninstall page.
Close any open IE windows.
When you restart Internet Explorer, Yahoo! Toolbar will no longer be present.


Option 2: Via the Control Panel

Click the Windows "Start" button.
Select "Control Panel" from the "Settings" menu.
Double-click on "Add/Remove Programs."
Scroll down and click on the "Yahoo! Toolbar" entry.
Click on "Change/Remove."
Close any open IE windows.
Yahoo! Toolbar is now uninstalled. Start IE again after closing all your
open IE browser windows and it will no longer be present.

If you follow these steps and Yahoo! Toolbar is still present, make sure you
have closed all your open IE browser windows. Due to Internet Explorer being
integrated with Windows, you might need to restart your computer to fully
uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar.

Ditto here.
3 different clients. 3 different sites.
All had the same symptom.
Internet Explorer would open momentarily and then simply shut down.
Removing the Yahoo! toolbar solved the problem.
Internet Explorer is working again.
