It should be in the add/remove programs

Windows IE 7 is in the Add & Remove, but I cannot find the Google Toolbar unless it is in there under some weird name. I use OE for my mail & am unable to find any icon to access it on this Google toolbar.
Thanks for your reply any other suggestions ?

These are the instructions form link I posted above for IE, Step 1: Enable add-ons Click the Internet Explorer Tools menu, or press Alt-T on your keyboard. Select Manage Add-ons. If Google Toolbar, Google Toolbar Helper, or Google Toolbar Notifier BHO is disabled, select each add-on and click Enable. Click Close. Step 2: Enable the Toolbar in the "View" menu Click the Internet Explorer View menu, or press Alt-V on your keyboard. Select Toolbars. If Google Toolbar doesn't have a checkmark beside it, select Google Toolbar. Step 3: Reset Internet Explorer settings Click the Internet Explorer Tools menu, or press Alt-T on your keyboard. Select Internet Options. On the Advanced tab, click Reset. Select the "Delete personal settings" checkbox. Click Reset. If you still don't see the Toolbar, try the steps above again to re-enable add-ons and the Toolbar.

Google toolbar & AOL removal
Q

Yes, they were both listed but the google toolbar would not remove even after I clicked remove. So I uninstalled all the AOL programs. I think that took the google toolbar out, too. Then I ran a Super spyware blaster scan and made sure everything was clean. Now I ran a search on the pc for "AOL" and I am trying to delete everything that is still listed by doing that. Some of the items will not delete so I am not pushing my luck. Am I doing the right stuff? Thanks, Debbie.

Which browser are you using? Did you install the toolbar by itself, or did it come bundled with something else (like google earth, for example)? Did it ever work properly, or did it fail the first time you used it after installing it? In any event, I'd look in the ADD/REMOVE list to see if the toolbar is listed and if so-uninstall it. Also uninstall any program that you installed along with it. If the toolbar is not in the ADD/REMOVE list, you could try doing a system restore to a date prior to installing the toolbar. If you haven't already done so, search "google toolbar problems"-you may find an answer. In my opinion-toolbars are a nuisance and a waste of time...but your mileage amy vary. You can always try a different toolbar if you must have one. If a different one should also fail, you may have a hardware problem or a conflict with another process running on your laptop.

I found the troubleshooting page on Google. I had to unlock the toolbar and pull over Google. It was hidden. These pesky problems are so annoying. Thanks.

That is interesting. I would have thought Roselvr had the right idea but it is not listed in Add/Remove Programs. Strangely nor is it listed on my C:\ drive in Program files.

Doing a search for google.* I found one instance of google.xml in my Firefox folder. At least I now know where it is.

Maybe right click a blank spot on the regular toolbar.. look around in windows settings.
If you dont find it look in IE/Tools/Internet options, Programs tab, you should see a button to display add ons.

Do you have the actual Google toolbar or just the Google search box? You can change your default search to something else if you want.

mikie was right....if you click on an empty spot on the toolbar, you will find Google and can uncheck it...I think. I know it's there and checked on mine anyway...I like it. I figure if I were to uncheck it, it would go away

There isn't an option under view > toolbars in IE 7? I haven't upgraded to it, I don't use IE, I use an IE "hack" called crazy browser.
