Google toolbar won't show in pinned websites
Hi all - new to Windows 7 and coming up to speed.
I have downloaded Google toolbar for use in IE and having a problem.
When I launch IE by opening the actual IE icon, I can see the Google toolbar. Further, while this instance of IE is open, I can right click on IE toolbar area to see what toolbars and toolbar options are available (i.e., see other toolbars that are installed, choose to display them, etc.)
BUT - there are several websites I frequent, and have pinned them to the Windows 7 taskbar. When I launch those websites from the pinned icon, it launches IE, but I don't see Google toolbar. In fact, I can't even then see an option to display the google toolbar, or any other toolbars, for that matter. When IE is launched using the pinned versions, it's as if IE has lost all recollection of having any toolbars installed.
I have also recently created a "quick launch" area in the task bar (I always preferred that in Windows XP). Same result there. In short, the only instance of IE that runs with installed toolbars is the original IE icon that came loaded with Windows 7.
What am I missing?
Many thanks -
Brad
PS - I'll need to check IE version, but this is new Acer computer running Windows 7 64 bit. I think it must be at least IE9?
