Guest b_iceman Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I have updated the yahoo toolbar on my computer to the new 7.x version but still have the 6.x version hanging around. In the add/remove programs there is only one option which I would assume would uninstall the entire thing. Anyone know how to get rid of the old one?
Guest Newbie Coder Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Re: ununstall old version of yahoo toolbar Iceman, Are you sure you still have the old version lingering or just the entry in the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS Applet? Would have thought Yahoo would have overwritten the entry when you installed a newer version You can go to the Yahoo folder in Program Files & check Checking Toolbar Version: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/toolbar/basics/toolbar7-02.html Uninstalling the Yahoo Toolbar: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/toolbar/troubleshootie/toolbar-08.html -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "b_iceman" <biceman@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:49EE0F9F-CCDB-4FCA-BC4D-9DC1C7ED0D84@microsoft.com... > I have updated the yahoo toolbar on my computer to the new 7.x version but > still have the 6.x version hanging around.

It appears in Add/Remove>BT Applications>Change/Remove>BT Online Protection>Toolbar with Pop-Up Blocker. If you haven't got a version quite as old as mine, you may still find it in BT Applications.
Guest b_iceman Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Re: ununstall old version of yahoo toolbar I only have one entry in the add/remove box which I believe to be the new version. When I go to C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Companion\Installs I have two folders. One is cpn and the other is cpn0. Looking through I see the yt.dll in cpn to have a file version of 2006.4.6.1 and the the yt.dll in cpn0 to have a file version of 2007.7.25.1. Basically each cpn* folder holds a new install of the toolbar. I wonder if it's as easy as deleting the older folder or is there a better way?

Guest Newbie Coder Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Re: ununstall old version of yahoo toolbar Iceman, Cannot see as it will be as easy as deleting the folder because if IE is still using that version then there will be registry entries In one of the Yahoo links I supplied yesterday is Contact Customer Services at the base of the page. I would use that & ask Yahoo as it's really their job to get it sorted Yahoo could take 48 hours to get back to you -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "b_iceman" <biceman@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:DD78B17D-C698-4FA6-9562-95BEBC902D64@microsoft.com... > I only have one entry in the add/remove box which I believe to be the new > version.
