I think after I installed acrobat reader 9 I started to get this red
icon next to the print button that does "save this document as a PDF
document". I don't like it, it annoys me, and I want rid of it.
Removing it works but then it just reappears again next time I start
up excel. Any other changes to my icons 'stick', but this little
critter just won't go away.

I tried uninstalling reader 9 but this didn't solve it. I can't find
an option to get rid of it. Help!!

Adobe Reader can't produce PDF files. Adobe Acrobat CAN. IF you want to
remove the Adobe Acrobat icon, you need to remove The Adobe Acrobat
ADD-IN.

If you un-checked the appropriate add-in [Tools > Add-ins] you may try to run
the hereunder proposed macro.
The macro will stop on each and every tool-bar and you will be asked to
acknowledge the deletion:
=================================
Sub DeleteNaggingCommandBar()
For Each NCB In Application.CommandBars
If NCB.Visible = True Then
If MsgBox("Delete CommandBar: " & NCB.Name, 4) = vbYes Then
NCB.Enabled = False
NCB.Visible = False
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
