Hi Onky,
Start>Control Panel>Internet Options - Advanced tab, uncheck "Enable
third-party browser extensions". Restart either/both Internet Explorer and
Windows Explorer.
Did you upgrade from XP to Vista? If so was this recently?
This will disable toolbar and browser helpers for both Internet Explorer and
Windows Explorer.
To find out which addon is causing the problem go Start>Control
Panel>Problem Reports and Solutions.
If you like copy and paste the Problem Report back to us and we may be able
to help you identify which Addon is causing the issue.
Regards.
