Seriously now. I do not want the stupid yahoo toolbar on my IE.

I only use IE for my schoolwork. I use one website and that is my school website. I do all my searching on firefox. I have the school website set as my IE homepage. I do never and will never use IE for anything else.

So, why the heck do I need the yahoo toolbar?

When I installed the yahoo IM (so I can talk to my sister, one room away), I specifically removed the X on install yahoo toolbar. When it finished installing and brought up the addon menu, I then disabled the addon.

I have since had to disable the stupid addon 2 more times!!! I DO NOT WANT IT DAMMIT!!!

Grr.

You can uninstall the toolbar. At least, I could, and I’ve still got Yahoo’s IM.

Yahoo and IE, the two worst things about the internet 🙂
