My brother had me download Imesh, a p2p program for him. Ever since I did this, a little thingy(for lack of a better term) to the right of the Address bar appeared. It says common name and has a text bar. I want to get rid of this. I deleted the program through the add/remove programs device. It is still there. I can right click on it and select for it to disappear. But everytime I open it back up(or any folder) it comes back up again! I reset the IE settings but to no avail. Then I deleted EVERY file in my temp internet folder(all 20,000+ one of them!) I cant get rid of it. Also, he made it that whenever a new folder is opened via a link, it appears just as the tool bar and needs to be double clicked! How do i fix these annoyances???  
thanks,

K, I fixed the first problem. The common name toolbar is actually an application of its own. I just deleted it. Any help on the other problems???  
And w00t the mouse wheel works again!!! so just one more prob!
