The "search box" for the "Startium serch engine" is on my
links bar when I open internet explorer. How do I remove
permanently?
 
Hi Chuck,

To remove it manually go to: Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar

To have it removed automatically, run this edit:

Remove Added IE Toolbar Entries (Line 174)

Clear Entries from Tools

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Extensions

Select each subkey and look at its MenuText value in the right-hand pane.
When you locate the menu item, delete the entire subkey.

Hi Kelly,
What did running the program by clicking on item 174 do to the
registry?
I did run it. I remember it asked "Do you want to add such & such in
this file c:/documents/....to your registry" and I did click yes.
Thanks,
Can
