Yahoo IM Wonderment...

[motordavid]

After much resistance, I relented and installed Yahoo! IM on my 'puter.
(Don't ask why... ).

The install went fine and it works; however, I now have an additional
Yahoo top header tool bar thing. That's in addition to my normal address
bar, my normal Yahoo bar and my GOOG bar.

Next to this new "Y!" is a litany of stuff/tabs/boxes:
Bookmarks, Settings, Messenger, Mail, (don't use/have Yahoo mail that I know of),
MySpace , News, etc. When I try to toss this new "bar/header" thing it simply
closes out my browser...

Is there any way to retain Yahoo IM and ditch this additional header/tool bar thing?

If my explanation of above is not succinct, it's my caveman brain wiring at
work, .
Thanks,
