Ok, I might of read your post wrong, but if you went to the Control Panel add/remove programs then found Yahoo messenger then uninstall it from there, it *should * remove all traces of it. What I suggest you try is reinstall yahoo messenger & try & uninstall again & see if that helps |

| 164588 | 2003-08-02 04:32:00 | Yes I did use add/remove to start with and it *should* have removed all traces of it but alas it didn't (crap yahoo uninstaller). I have tried reinstalling and uninstalling again but it doesn't work. Searching the net I have found people with the same problem but have only found out how to get rig of the yahoo explorer under view, explorer bar. So does anyone know how I can get rid of the Yahoo Messenger entry under toold in IE6? |

| 164589 | 2003-08-02 06:22:00 | Have you tried doing a registry search for 'Yahoo' in addition to the instructions given in that URL? If anything comes up delete it. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 164590 | 2003-08-02 07:11:00 | I have and get a couple of results but I'm not that confident in editing the registry, I wan't to make sure its the right thing. I will get the details of each one and post them later as I have to go out tonight. |

| 164591 | 2003-08-02 08:28:00 | I tried deleting the obvious Yahoo sub keys under Internet Explorer, Explorer bars and extensions, but 'Yahoo! Messenger' still appeared in View-Explorer Bar. There must be an obscure sub key somewhere that puts this in, but sorry, cant find it. A challenge for someone. |

Run regcleaner. And if its still their, and you are a perfectionist freak like me, reinstall IE, and you might want to upgrade to IE6 if you haven?t already. And you might want to try Opera browser, its so fast!!! James |
