How to a uninstall/remove toolbar?

How do I uninstall/remove a toolbar in explorer? The
standard "search" toolbar keeps showing up EVERY time
explorer starts, including a zipclix toolbar that
conveniently took the name of my google toolbar. I mainly
want to get rid of the "search" toolbar that came with
explorer, any help would be appritiated!
