I am trying to get rid of Yahoo toolbar, but using add/remove programs
doesn't work, the window just freezes up and I have to reboot.

Have now found the uninstall button. I click to uninstall, it says it's
uninstalled it, then after a reboot it's still there.

See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303047/en-us
"How to Uninstall or Turn off the Yahoo! Companion Browser Toolbar".
And: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/toolbar/troubleshootie/toolbar-08.html
If still no joy...
Try ToolbarCop (freeware): http://windowsxp.mvps.org/toolbarcop.htm
"Using ToolbarCop to remove the unwanted Toolbands, Toolbar icons and
Browser Helper Objects".

Hope this helps.
