To make this method work as advertised you need to navigate to the Registry
address Hkey_Current_user/Software/Microsoft/InternetExplorer/Toolbar and
delete the entire 'Toolbar' folder (assuming you already exported the
'Toolbar' folder beforehand). Don't delete the 'Explorer', 'ShellBrowser' or
'WebBrowser' folders unless they are also exported separately (4 separate
exports).
The reason for this is because when you import your saved registry files it
only changes key values already in the 'Toolbars' folder. It doesn't replace
or delete keys not recognized, such as a rogue toolbar, it will add your
favorite toolbar settings to the rogue toolbar.
