MSN Search Toolbar add-ins not appearing Chris 02-27-2006

I've been experiencing odd behavior with some of the add-ins to the MSN
Search Toolbar; specifically, they do not appear!

I installed the following add-ins: Weather, Folder Share, Phishing Filter,
Favorites (beta), and Search Preview (beta); however, the latter three
add-ins are not visible. The Options applet makes no mention of these latter
three add-ins' options, either.

(BTW, Folder Share appears in the system tray, but does not appear on the
MSN Search Toolbar; should it?)

I went to Add or Remove Programs and selected "Show updates"; there were no
items listed underneath "MSN Search Toolbar"; should there be?

I uninstalled the MSN Search Toolbar, rebooted, re-installed the MSN Search
Toolbar, and then proceeded to install the add-ins again. Same problem: Among
the add-ins, only the Weather add-in appears.

I pressed "Reset IE Toolbar Menu", but this did not correct the problem. How
should I proceed?

Try this:
Start>run>%temp%, delete the rsft folder.

I don't think you will see the addins listed under the MSN Search Toolbar in
Add/Remove programs.

As an addendum to my previous reply, if you don't have the listed folder, go
ahead and delete everything in your temp folder... Some items will be in use and
can't be deleted, but clearing out the \temp folder often fixes issues with MSN
Toolbar addins.
