Yep, today I want to talk about the
Yahoo toolbar. First though let me tell you how I am set up in my
browser.
When I got my computer, my home page was MSN. I
created a My Msn homepage. That is the one that opens for my Internet
Explorer.
My toolbar is Msn also.
However I have also created a My Yahoo
Homepage. I have all my favorite content on it.
And so, over a
period of time, I have used more and more of Yahoo's services, so one day
I decided that it would be nice to also have the Yahoo toolbar.
I downloaded it.I love it; it was very easy to
install also. It is called Yahoo! companion.
So from it I can access all sorts of Yahoo
services. Now this toolbar can be customized and that is what I want to
talk about now.
Once the tool bar is installed, click on all the little arrows for the
dropdown menus and see all the possibilities. Under the large Y! for
example you have all sorts of areas of interest you can click on.
Ok, that is wonderful but the best is yet to come because if you click
on the arrow next to the pencil, click on personal options, and
add/edit buttons, Yahoo will open a page for you where you can choose the
buttons you want on your toolbar. You can change these at any time.
So check those you want and uncheck or leave unchecked those you
don't want. Don't forget to click Finished at the end or it won't
happen. Now, once you've had all your buttons for a while, you will know
which ones you use most often. Then you can go back to this page the sane
way you just did so, and customize the layout...in other words place the
most used buttons first and the others after. I'm sure you will have
noticed by then that if you have a lot of buttons on your toolbar, as I
have, some will be placed in a dropdown menu due to lack of space.
Once you have customized this toolbar, you have everything at your
fingertips. Enjoy!
