hie,
I am using Internet Explorer as my web browser. There are many unnecessary toolbands and toolbar icons that keep on appearing. I want to remove these unwanted toolbands and toolbar icons from Internet Explorer. Does anybody have an idea how to remove these items ? ..... Is there any software or program designed for this ?
kindly give your suggestions
thank you
I would recommend you to download, install and use ToolbarCop.
ToolbarCop enables advanced users to remove the unwanted Toolbands, Toolbar icons and Browser Helper Objects (BHOs) from Internet Explorer.
You can disable BHOs, remove them and prevent them from starting with Windows Explorer. It also displays available details for any installed Toolbars, Context Menu Extensions and Toolbar buttons and allows you to remove them.
You should only use this tool if you know what you are doing, there is no Undo and no documentation.
- Download -
ToolbarCop is a browser extensions manager which can eliminate the following browser add-ons selectively from Internet Explorer:
- Browser Helper Objects (BHO)
- Toolbars
- Standard Toolbar buttons
- Context menu Extensions
- Third-party download managers &
- Third-party Protocol Handlers and their residual entries remaining in the registry.
- Horizontal / Vertical Explorer Bars (side-search bars)
- Startup applications originating from RUN registry keys
To remove a program that is installed on your computer, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Add or Remove Programs.
- In the Currently installed programs box, click the program that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
- If you are prompted to confirm the removal of the program, click Yes.
