Office computer, crazy toolbars and no file/edit/help buttons...can I fix it?

I just started working at my mom's office and someone was messing with her interent's tool bars and now they are all messed up. The top line as the address bar and a yahoo search box --the middle has buttons like search, reference, the temperature, perfect grammar, ringtones, etc. the next has another yahoo search box, a pop up blocked counter, and a radio/mp3/ something else center. I want the normal file, edit, help, buttons. And we need the stop, refresh, home buttons. how do I get them back without a place to pull up interent options???? Thanks :)

    right mouse click in the area of the tool bars

    select unlock tool bars

    repeat, add the check marks to what tool bars you want

    go to control panel and uninstall the ones you don't want

    (weather etc.)

    A worker has not "messed" with the internet toolbars. The computer has been updated to Internet Explorer 7. The refresh and stop buttons are between the address bar and the yahoo search box. The home button is on the bottom row towards the middle right. To get the file, edit, help... buttons back right click in the gray and click menu bar. Good Luck HTH.

    press alt+t to pull up the tool menu, then you can start unchecking tool bars/search bars from there. you can probably also remove the majority of that stuff from control panel > add/remove programs.

    or if you want to start with something other than ie (recommended) download firefox: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

    well if the E icon is blue with a gold trim .. its normal because thats IE7 .. you would have to press the ALT key (next to the spacebar) and then you would be able to see file edit tools and help .

    if its Ie6 they should be their already .

    good luck
