This might be slightly OT as it doesn't directly deal w an OS but it seemed like the best fit of what's available so please forgive me...:)

Does anyone know where to find a standard .exe install of the Google Toolbar as opposed to the web based install? I'm a LAN Admin at my company so I have god powers but domain wide restrictions that would require signatures from people much, much, much higher than myself (executive level) to change prevent it from installing via the web. Any ideas on a workaround?

Why not e-mail Google?

I'd think they would jump at the chance to help increase the number of Google Toolbar users!

I use this and I think it's *great* :)

There is no exe package that I know of, but you could write a batch file or script file to install it.

Just download the cab file at http://toolbar.google.com/data/en/deleon/1.1.48-deleon/GoogleNav.cab
and unzip the GoogleNav.dll file from it. Now run these commands to install it:

copy GoogleNav.dll C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\GoogleNav.dll
regsvr32 C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\GoogleNav.dll


regsvr32.exe is a program that registers ActiveX controls for use by a host that supports ActiveX interfaces (like the IE browser).

If you want to un-install just run these commands:

regsvr32 /u C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\GoogleNav.dll
del C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\GoogleNav.dll
