Adding and Removing Toolbar Buttons
The Yahoo! Toolbar allows you to use your favorite Yahoo! features with the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. When you install the Toolbar it appears near the top of the Internet Explorer browser.

on your Toolbar (

with the newest version of the Toolbar. Click here to go to the tutorial for
your version of the Toolbar.
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 customize the Toolbar by adding or removing buttons.
Here’s How
On the Toolbar, click the pencil icon, select Personal Options, then select Add/Edit Buttons.
The Customize Yahoo! Toolbar page appears, displaying buttons listed in categories.
Check the box next to each button that you want to appear on the Toolbar.
Uncheck the box next to each button you want to remove from the Toolbar.
When you finish selecting your toolbar buttons, click the Finished button.
A message appears confirming that your Toolbar changes have been saved.
If you don’t see your changes on the Toolbar, click the pencil icon (
) and select Refresh Toolbar.
What’s Next
If you can’t find the button you want, you can make your own.
