I recently came across this MS Knowledge Base article that might be of interest
to those trying to keep Internet Explorer 6 locked down. It describes how to
disable "third-party browser extensions" in IE 6.

I tested this with Yahoo! Companion and while it did not stop Yahoo! Companion
from installing on the PC, it does prevent the Companion toolbar from loading in
Internet Explorer. The same happens with the Google toolbar. Consider it one
more tool in your box for stopping these applications.
