I have too many tool bars on my screen , How do I delete the ones I do not need
Usually happens when one installs a program, application, etc.
You're in the middle of installing, and they want to sneak an anti-virus program in, ( trial offer), or Google toolbar, or Ask.com toolbar, or whatever the 'new flavor of the month is'.
A) Add/Remove Programs:
1) Click on Start (Or Windows logo button), then on Control Panel.
2) Click on Add/Remove Programs.
3) Look down the list, when Add/Remove Programs is fully loaded.
See any toolbar names there?
Probably will not state toolbar with the name, but if you see Ask, Google, etc; that does not look like a program you installed; click on Remove.
(DO NOT remove any Windows programs)
B) Reinstall your internet browser
Have Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc?
Download again, and reinstall.
WATCH that you just save your bookmarks, and do not save the toolbars again.
[It will ask if you wish to save your Bookmarks/Favorites, etc.
Yes to that. No to anything else ]

[ I had the Ask.com toolbar, slip in on me the other day! Sheesh!
Deleted that baby fast!
I use Mozilla Firefox. Don't need no cr@p.
When you are installing, look through each small screen.
If you see an advertisement; Ask.com toolbar, Google toolbar, McAfee, etc;
there will be a small square to the left of it, and a Green checkmark in the box.
There also may be two boxes.
Go to the small box on top with the first listing, left-click on the box.
This removes the green checkmark from that box.
Also from the small box below it.
Now click on Next
KEEP a sharp eye on every small window. May have to uncheck a box on a few windows. You can back up to the beginning, and look again. Be SURE before you click on Install.
Usually starts out with McAfee. {Yuck! ]
