The toolbar is a Browser Helper Object (BHO)  You could get PC Mags
bhocop or the free bhodemon at
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm
<http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm>  and disable it.
 
I believe adobes BHO in the registry  is here:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Setting
s\{06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3}] 
"Flags"=dword:00000001 
 
Windows XP SP2 will have a BHO help integrated into IE so that you can
disable BHO's, a welcome addition.

Apologies, I've just found the IE5.5 ADM template on Jim's download
area!
 
I'd still like to hear about anyone's experiences with the Adobe Acrobat
Toolbar.
 
All the best,
Scott

Morning Guys, (well its morning here for me!)
 
Having a bit of a problem with IE and Adobe Acrobat. I want to disable
the Acrobat Reader toolbar in Internet Explorer. I'm using IE5.5 and
Acrobat Reader 5.
 
From looking at the Adobe forums it seems that this involves editing
Adobes JavaScript, however this authoring function isn't available from
within Acrobat Reader. Does anyone have any ADM templates I could apply
to the user accounts that would lock this down. Any suggestions on
securing this would be very welcome!
 
 
All the best,
Scott
