Try this: 1. unlock the windows taskbar 2. right click on the "search" label and select "close toolbar" 3. right-click on the taskbar and de-select it from the enabled toolbars. 4. reboot (just to make sure the dll isn't loaded) 5. uninstall dqsd... 6. delete the "c:\program files\Quick Search Deskbar" directory
I cant think of anything else... That should definitely wipe the toolbar out.
