oh geez, what have I done with my toolbar?

so I somehow was updating Flash and it did something to my toolbar. I now have ATT toolbar and I don't know how to go back to the old toolbar. Now when I click to open a new tab I get About:Blank instead of the page that used to come up with the page that had the last bunch of websites I visited. I don't know how to get that back.

I have Windows 7
IE Explorer 9

any help is truly appreciated. thanks.

ATT toolbar, click on the thing at the top right that looks like a gear. Click on "Manage Addons". On the left side of the window click on the "Toolbars and Extensions" and then right click on the ATT Toolbar in the right side of the window and select "Disable".

To reset your home page, click on the gear again. Then click on "Internet Options". In the general tab under Home Page, add the URL of the home page you want. Below that, under "StartUp" click on "Start with home page." Click apply and then OK.

That should fix it.

Opera and Chrome are both quite good. Firefox has issues with Flash, though.
