Hi Alistair,

Thanks for getting back. No I don't have Bearshare on my PC.

Just to add to what I said earlier, this edit box also appears at the top of 
a couple of text editors I'm trying to use. So, I launch the text editor, 
and if I start writing straight away I discover I'm writing in this annoying 
searchbox and not in the document at all. This is how it appears from a jaws 
user perspective.

Any thoughts from anyone much appreciated. Anything to look out for in 
Add/Remove software or in my browser menus?

Could this be something to do with Google gadgets? I've got a whole 
directory of Google tools landed in My Documents folder under a sub folder 
called 'My Google Dagets'. No reference to it in Add/Remove software though. 
I'm confused.


Thanks

...Damon
