Toolbar

A toolbar often provides quick access to functions that are commonly performed within the program. For example, a formatting toolbar in a program such as Microsoft Excel, FrontPage, or Word would give the user access to functions such as making text bold, or aligning the text, or other commonly used formatting buttons. In a browser toolbars often add additional functionality to the browser that may not come pre-installed. For example, in the above picture this browser has the Google Toolbar installed, which gives quick access to handy Google features.

• In most Microsoft Windows programs the toolbars can be adjusted, hidden, or displayed by clicking on View at the top of the window and clicking Toolbars.
• If you have have had your standard toolbars replaced in your Internet Browser and/or have had toolbars installed in your Internet Browser without your permission, it's likely you've been infected with spyware / malware. We suggest you see document CH000578 in regards to Internet browser hijacking.
