Re: Allow multiple explorer windows

It was the Yahoo tool bar. It was installed when I downloaded Adobe Acrobat
from Downloads.Com this morning. At some point in the download I was asked
if I wanted to install the Yahoo toolbar and I answered No, but apparently
enough of it got downloaded that it appeared in the "add/remove programs" but
not in the list of programs at the start menu.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I would never have thought to look for it
there, since I didn't think it had been downloaded.
