How do I get rid of all the EZP's on the standard tool bar?

[Guest]

How do I get rid of all the EZP's, and keep them from coming back on the
standard tool bar of word? I'm working with Windows XP.

Somewhere on your computer you have the EZ-Photo application (probably
installed by a scanner or other hardware). This software adds an add-in to
Word's Startup folder, and the add-in adds the button(s) to your toolbar.

Unfortunately, the add-in was written for Word 95 and doesn't function
properly with later versions, so you need to remove it. Once you've done
this, you can remove any and all EZP buttons from Word using Tools |
Customize. The files you're looking for (to delete) are Ezpwll32.wll,
Ezphoto.wll, Ezpwll.wll, and Ezpwll16.wll. You'll need to display Hidden and
System files in order to find these using Windows Find/Search.


For more on EZ-Photo, see "WD2000: Problems Caused By EZ-Photo 2.7 and
Earlier Versions [Q224727]." Note that it should *not* be necessary to
rename Normal.dot as this article suggests; this will remove all your
customizations, and the only reason I can see for doing it is to remove the
EZP buttons, which you can easily do yourself.

Thank you for replying. I read that artical and even though it didn't say
Windows XP I went through the remove steps but only found Ezpwll32.wll, which
I deleted, the rest couldn't be found. Hopefully that will be enough. It
also took awhile, but I was able to remove the EZP's already on the tool bar
once I figured out I had to go to the 'Rearrange Commands' and then delete
them. It probably seems pretty basic, but sometimes those are the things
that trip me up, thanks again for the reply.
