Nonsense...

Windows Desktop Search does not APPEAR in Add/Remove Programs on this
machine and the program was properly installed from the Microsoft Download
site.

Thanks.

But this seems to deal only with the removal of the WDS toolbar but not the
program itself.

Also _MSN Search Toolbar_ does not appear in the list of Programs in Control
Panel. So I can't delete it.
