I have been having problems with my toolbars. First they
kept moving around/changing now they're gone completely.
I only have the titlebar nothing else. If I get a popup
window it has the toolbars, I used that to get to my
homepage, used view to lock the toolbars and it seems fine
until I sign off. The next tiem I sign on the toolbars
are gone.
 
Tried F11, all it does is hide the title bar.
Thanks though. Any other ideas?

Mike, I've not installed BHODemon so I have to ask you (re: another thread):
Does this application have an "update" button and where is it?

I had an unwanted link show up on my toolbar but it is impossible to remove
this link from the "view", "toolbars", menu. I have disabled its content
from using the BHO Demon and when enabled the links are gone but the menu
item on the view, toolbars menu is still there. Any way to remove this
unwanted link in that menu??

Interesting. What is the menu item named, Shoot? What was the name of the
BHO that BHODemon identified?[/QUOTE]
 
Mike,
Ran the BHODemon and found 5 BHOs, disabled all of them,
even restarted my computer and still no toolbar.
Thanks,

I have been having problems with my toolbars. First
they
kept moving around/changing now they're gone
completely.
I only have the titlebar nothing else. If I get a
popup
window it has the toolbars, I used that to get to my
homepage, used view to lock the toolbars and it seems
fine
until I sign off. The next tiem I sign on the
toolbars
are gone.

I tried spyware removal programs but it did not help.
My big concern is that everything is working when user has domain admin
rights
For me it means that permitions cause that problem.

Also everything works fine under safe mode.

Thanks,
