No need to leave your current Web page; this toolbar sits right at the top of your Web browser and makes both your computer and the Internet available to your search. From this toolbar you can also start a wizard to automatically fill in forms (such as log-on information or online shopping) with data you've already saved. Or enjoy the one-click convenience of controlling pop-up messages with MSN Pop-up Blocker or opening other MSN services such as MSN Hotmail or MSN Messenger.

MSN Deskbar

This toolbar is conveniently located on the taskbar. You can use it to search both your computer and the Web, and you can also click links to other MSN services such as MSN Hotmail, MSN Messenger, and MSN Spaces.

MSN Toolbar for Outlook

From your toolbar in Outlook 2003, you can choose to search within Outlook or to expand your search to your computer or the Web. And you still have the links to the other MSN services.

Searching through your Outlook items is now even easier. Just type the search term and go. You can narrow your search even further, focusing on e-mail messages, appointments, attachments, or contacts.

When working in Outlook, you can quickly choose to search within Outlook, your computer or network, or the Internet.
