How To Detect Google Toolbar in the client web browser? I do have the JavaScript code that uses the classid to detect. It works only for the old version of Google Toolbar.
Please note that the classid keeps changing and in the new version they use windows registry.
Thanks,

*************************
Pop-up blockers are here to stay, being updated frequently, and you'll never be able to keep up with all of them - you need to work with it, or risk losing business to those who do.
Some of the steps we could take to contain the issue are ::
1. Warn users that toolbars will conflict with web application in the web page, help text and FAQ.
2. If it is an intranet based web application, have network level restrictions and warnings.
Feel free to add to the list.
