Re: [Chat] New computer

Thank you. I've had Windows 7 for about a week and am not familiar with it.

If you're looking for something you used in XP and it is not where you expected to find it, just click on Start > Help and Support and then search for it.

onDvine , when Helix trolls your serious threads, you KNOW you're loved.

I just thought I would explain that since it's hard to tell, right?

Thanks. Maybe I'll find some of the info there I seem unable to find elsewhere.

I don't consider it trolling; it's just meandering around until time to say something relevant again.

Re: [Chat] New computer-ventilation question

I THINK you can uncheck it if you right click somewhere on the taskbar. It'll give you a list of toolbars installed & you can disable it. Or you can click on View/Toolbars too. As for getting rid of it, I don't know how to do that. Now that I think of it you might try Tools/Add-Ons & see if it's listed in Extensions & hope it has a remove button.

The Yahoo Toolbar that came with Core Temp (see post above) came back. Please, can you tell me how to get rid of it? I specifically told Core Temp not to install it.

See if either method specified here »java.com/en/download/help/yahoo_···tall.xml will remove it.

Hey Buddy, can you spare a cycle? Join Team Helix

If you go the control panel/programs and features you should see the yahoo toolbar listed, click on that to uninstall. These dang toolbars seem to come with everything nowadays.

It's not there. None of the programs listed were installed today. I wasn't supposed to be installing a toolbar which piggybacked another. I thought I was installing Core Temp.

Where did you get core temp from?

Here: »www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

Here, Yahoo says I should be able to remove it through Firefox Extensions. Am still awaiting help in the Mozilla forum about not being able to see Extensions/Add-Ons.

That's where I got before, they must have changed something with the toolbars because it's free. Did you see during the installer an option to uncheck the toolbar?

Yes, I saw an option not to install the Yahoo toolbar and selected whichever one meant I didn't want it. Had to change the default to do it.

Sometimes those things hide in system temp folder. Try this: Click start/run then type in %temp% it is safe to delete the contents of that folder. If you get a message something is in use, use the skip option on those.
