Initially, a standard set of buttons appears on your Yahoo! Toolbar in Internet Explorer. Because toolbar buttons are visible whenever the Yahoo! Toolbar is available, they are useful shortcuts for actions you perform frequently and sites you visit often. You can customise the Toolbar by adding or removing buttons.

 

Here’s How

  1. On the Toolbar, click the pencil icon, select Add/Edit Buttons.

    Select Add/Edit Buttons from the menu.

    The Customise Yahoo! Toolbar page appears, displaying buttons listed in categories.

    A message appears confirming that your Toolbar changes have been saved.

  5. If you don’t see your changes on the Toolbar, click the pencil icon (Pencil icon) and select Refresh Toolbar.
