Need help: RELATED LINKS in my TOOLS menu is gone?
The RELATED LINKS in my TOOLS menu is gone?
I have MS XP, Internet Explorer 6.0 and Google Toolbar.
I have not used RELATED LINKS for a week or so and now it's gone ....
Any ideas?

If you want to find Web pages similar to the Web page you are currently viewing, click the Tools menu, and then click Show Related Links.

Show Related Links" uses technology from Alexa, and is detected as spyware (and removed) by many anti-spyware programs such as AdAware.
Try opening Add/Remove Programs (in Control Panel), one line at a time find any lines containing Internet Explorer and click on the Change/Remove button.
You may be offered a dialogue which has a "Repair IE" option. Try this and see if the "Show Related Links" reappears in the IE Tools menu. You might have to use the "Remove IE" option instead/as well as the Repair IE option.
In XP Pro this should return IE to the default setup with Alexa (and Show Related Links) enabled.
