Ebay and Yahoo toolbars GONE!

I don't know if I already posted about this when it
happened, but if I did, I can't find the post. A couple
months ago these 2 toolbars disappeared from my browser (I
use IE 6). Come to find out, they are still installed on
my computer!
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling them from the
websites where they come from, but they still don't show
up.
One time someone told me to download Toolbar Cop. I did,
and tried everything to get these toolbars to show up
again with no luck.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong and how it can be
fixed?
Also, if you think I should post this on a more
appropriate newsgroup than this one, let me know.
Thanks,
Barry
 
This you?... http://snipurl.com/83cw

Maybe someone at http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/ recommended Toolbar Cop.

Toolbar Cop edits the Registry. I think you'd have to know what the changes
were and undo them before you can reinstall your toolbars (and I wouldn't do
that if I were you). Toolbar Cop v2.6 (Jul-04) has an Undo option but I
doubt the one you used did.

Hi Barry,

Which feature you've used in ToolbarCop? Close all instances of Internet Explorer. From the ToolbarCop options button, click "Reset Internet Explorer Toolbar layout" which clears the ITBarLayout value in the registry like any other REG file. This resets all the toolband order and places them in default position/view.

No, that wasn't me.
This is very strange. Both toolbars are actually installed
on this computer, yet they won't show up in the browser,
at all. So you think something in the registry got
changed? I'll check for a newer version of Toolbar Cop.
Thanks,
Barry
 
Hi,
On Thursday August 5 I clicked on the icon on my screen to
bring up IE and when IE was loading the 2 missing toolbars
reappeared right before my eyes! I didn't do anything to
bring them back. They just showed up! It's good to have
them back again. I don't know why they came back, but I'm
glad.
Thanks for your help anyway.
Barry
