Internet Explorer Tip - Eek! My Google Toolbar is Providing TMI!

If you use the Google toolbar and Internet Explorer, you've probably noticed that every time you open a new tab, a window pops open showing very large pictures of the sites you visit most often. As you may imagine, having this information showing up on your screen may be a little embarrassing. (Imagine your boss looking over your shoulder).

The steps to get rid of this are not easy to find.

Here they are:
  • Click the wrench icon on your Google toolbar.
