how do i remove the excess search windows on my yahoo pages? Does two many make my computer run slow?

Question

i have 6 search windows and i don't need that many, just would like to keep the yahoo and google ones. how do u do that? i was wondering also if a lot of windows would make the computer run slow. i've tried uninstalling rarely used programs but it doesn't seem to help. also i don't see these programs in there. thanks;)

Answer 1

I assume you mean search tool bars at the top of your browser.I have Internet explorer address bar- ( window ), below that,google bar,with window,below that,yahoo bar with window. Both of them have a uninstall or remove op-ton on the left side of the tool bar-with a drop down menu google, the button,yahoo click on the pencil. So the other ones should be similar. Also they might be found in the add and remove programs found in the control panel. d-click on the A&R program scroll the programs if you find the one you do not want click on it and click the "remove" button. BE CAREFUL! and do not remove the wrong item! They may simply be found in the programs menu.Most of them have a remove opton.I agree you do not need 6.You could put the others in the "favorites" menu and access them if you need them.Tool bars should not slow your browser,but they might conflict with each other. I also assume you are not keeping to many browser windows open at one time-they can add up before you notice it.Close the ones you do not need.If you have 6 open at one time they will definitely slow your computer.Good luck!

hi..
go to start>>control panel>>add or remove programs>>then remove any search engine that you want.

if you don't want to remove them,may be you just want to hide them..just right click on the toolbar and remove the chick from the tool bar search that you want to remove.
have a nice day

Answer 3

yup, you can uninstall them in add/remove programs at control panel.
and also you can download yahoo widget from http://widgets.yahoo.com/
it nice, it takes small mem resource to run, does not take any ram at all if you don't run it (you can turn it off), also it have widget for search toolbar (google and yahoo) and many more

Answer 4

Have you tried right-clicking on your toolbar, and hitting edit or options or something like that? i don't use a Yahoo toolbar, so sorry if this doesn't help- but hey, I like your avatar! =^)
