Related Links feature

[Joe]

For some reason, beyond my knowledge, I have lost the
Related Links feature on the Tool Bar menu. Any ideas
out there how I might get it back ? Thanks..

Do you have any 'spyware' software such as Adaware or Spybot installed? If
so, they would have detected what they *think* was Alexa toolbar, but
wasn't. By deleting that entry using antispyware software, you lose the
"related links" feature.

FYI, SpyBot S&D doesn't actually remove the "Alexa" registry entry itself; It replaces the
original related.htm file pointing to MS and from there to Alexa with a dummy that points to
Google.

That way you don't lose your Tools menu entry.

It seems like the sensible way to treat this relatively innocent Internet Explorer registry key.
