No, but I'm a big fan of the Google Toolbar & Google bookmarks. I don't know
if the MSN toolbar nonsense has anything similar; I usually avoid both it
and Yahoo.

http://www.live.com/

You will need to log on with a MS passport/ live account (available
without charge)

Click the "Add Stuff" link

Click "Windows Live"|"Gadgets"|"Favorites"

Note: These are even usable in alternate browsers

Most other Live modules are compatible with alternate browsers.

There is a "Add Pages" function that allows you to organize the modules
you want to view.

Hovering your mouse pointer over the "[more]" link in the various news
modules displays a summary of the article.

I generally avoid third party toolbars. But, I am open minded and of
course thing change daily.

So, why are you a fan of the google toolbar?

The "Add Stuff" link is very close to the top of the page, right under
the Windows logo.

Make sure you're at http://www.live.com/

and not a page on msn, although the "My msn" portal (at
http://my.msn.com/ ) does have a similar module available called "My
Favorite links". On "My msn" look for the "Add content" link, also near
the top of the page.

These are both web page based lists and are available should you need
them from a public access point like a web cafe, college or library
terminal (make SURE you log off when done!).

Thank you for your reply

Once I click the link http://www.live.com/, I see Live Search, and there are
4 options available, Windows Live, Hotmail, Spaces, OneCare.
I have checked Windows Live, under its logo, there is "more" option only,
which link to http://www.imagine-windowslive.com/Mobile/. There is no "Add
Stuff" link for WIndows Live.
For hotmail option, I do not see any "Add Stuff" link too.
For Space option, I see a list of option for adding to your space, which
include Share photos, Share files, Edit your profile, Invite a friend, Add a
blog entry and Add a list, but I don't see any online bookmark option!
For OneCare, there are option available, which include Home page, Service
Overview, Get it now, Member accounts, Help Center, Safety scanner, and
Family Safety but I don't see any online bookmark option!

Could you please provide more description on where to locate the online
bookmark services?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions
Eric

I just find it incredibly useful. I use firefox, so I can search google
directly from there, but I like having the bookmarks thingy and autofill. I
turned off the advanced superspy settings and disable the autopdate stuff. I
don't see it as any less secure/private than my using, say, google.
