Getting rid of Lenovo logo from google IE toolbar

[Riddil]

I really like the google toolbar for IE. Glad to see X60 came with it... but HATED that stupid "Lenovo" logo filling up a huge chunk of space on the bar. Seriously, with only 1024x768 you'd think they could go with an "L", instead of a massive, L-E-N-O-V-O sucking up a huge chunk of real-estate.

I was really pee'd off to find even if you uninstall the toolbar, and install the one from google that the logo is STILL there. Anyhow, to get rid of the toolbar...

- Add / remove programs to uninstall the Google toolbar
- Browse to the folder C:\Program Files\Google\Toolbar
- Rename all DLL files you see to something else (ie, *.DLL.BAK)
- Download and install the toolbar from Google

Viola. No more logo.

Thanks!

I hated that branding too!
Tried what you wrote, worked like a charm.
I also installed I.E. # 7. ( an upcoming part of Vista)
It's quicker, has more features, and the tool bar is smaller and takes up less space than I.E. # 6. (which helps on such a small screen.)
Even though it's in Beta 2, I have not had any problems with it.

Thanks again, Nick.
