Thanks for that. What I actually did was “end process” in Windows Task Manager, for the GoogleToolbarNotifier, which had appeared for the first time today. Hope my action wasn’t a no-no, but it certainly made it disappear.

I have a question I hope you can answer for me. GoogleDesktop.exe appears three times in the Task Manager processes list. Memory usage is 7,052k, 3968k & 7024k. I was wondering why this would be? And then there’s BGGOOGLE.exe, 2032k?? I do use GoogleDesktop for only one thing, the searchbox that sits in my utility tray at all times whether I have my browser open or not. So handy for any queries I want to search.

P.S. …………. You might want to amend your instructions for IE 8, as there is no “Settings” button (the required settings can be found under the “Adjust Toolbar options” button).
