Also, if, since you said to use Windows Explorer to find all programs, you are saying to find the folder named programs, which is a subfolder of the Windows folder and remove the Google tool bar in that way, removing the files is absolutely not the correct way of doing so. In addition, the folder is not called all programs. It is called programs. All programs is the name of a submenu in the start menu. If you are using the standard XP start menu, you will see it named as all folders. If you are using the classic XP start menu, you will not see it named All Programs. It will simply be named programs, as was the case in earlier versions of Windows.

You never delete a program by deleting the files unless you know that that is the correct thing to do. There are rare programs that can be removed in this way. Almost all programs must be removed by using either Add/Remove programs or by using a removal option provided inside the program such as from one of the menus where such an option is offered. All Programs is a menu from which you can run programs. You cannot remove any program by working with the All Program's menu. You can remove what is called the short cut to the program, which allows you to run the program from the All Program's menu but that is not removing the program. The Google tool bar is not listed in All Programs. It is not such a program. It is a plugin to Internet Explorer and works from within Internet Explorer. You do not run it separately. You can remove it in Add/Remove programs if it is installed. The fact that it is not found there means it is almost definitely not installed and has nothing to do with the problem. It is possible that a program may be installed and not be listed in Add/Remove programs even if it is supposed to be but this is rare and is almost certainly not the case.Gene----- Original Message ----- From: "arlene" <nedster6@xxxxxxxxx>To: <accesscomp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2008 5:58 PM Subject: [accesscomp] Re: removing Google toolbarHmmm! Why not go to your windows explorer arrow to all programs. It may be there. If and when you find it delete it! ----- Original Message ----- From: Marcus WilliamsTo: the-blind-geek-squad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: accesscomp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2008 7:30 AM Subject: [accesscomp] removing Google toolbar I went to control panel and looked in Add or Remove Programs. There was no Google toolbar listed.As for the part about Google being my home page, I don't understand what that has to do with my current problem.Whenever I bring up Internet Explorer, Google has always been the first page to appear.This recent problem with HTML ebooks is what has me confused.
