ununstall old version of yahoo toolbar

[Guest]

I have updated the yahoo toolbar on my computer to the new 7.x version but
still have the 6.x version hanging around. In the add/remove programs there
is only one option which I would assume would uninstall the entire thing.
Anyone know how to get rid of the old one?

Iceman,

Are you sure you still have the old version lingering or just the entry in the
ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS Applet? Would have thought Yahoo would have overwritten the
entry when you installed a newer version

You can go to the Yahoo folder in Program Files & check

I have a VERY old version of the toolbar. It appears in Add/Remove>BT
Applications>Change/Remove>BT Online Protection>Toolbar with Pop-Up
Blocker.

If you haven't got a version quite as old as mine, you may still find it
in BT Applications.

I only have one entry in the add/remove box which I believe to be the new
version. When I go to C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Companion\Installs I have two
folders. One is cpn and the other is cpn0. Looking through I see the yt.dll
in cpn to have a file version of 2006.4.6.1 and the the yt.dll in cpn0 to
have a file version of 2007.7.25.1.
Basically each cpn* folder holds a new install of the toolbar. I wonder if
it's as easy as deleting the older folder or is there a better way?

Iceman,

Cannot see as it will be as easy as deleting the folder because if IE is still
using that version then there will be registry entries

In one of the Yahoo links I supplied yesterday is Contact Customer Services at
the base of the page. I would use that & ask Yahoo as it's really their job to
get it sorted

Yahoo could take 48 hours to get back to you
