Vista Control Panel Problem

For some reason when I go into Control Panel and Uninstall programs there are a lot of icons such as various printer icons instead of just one.  I can not delete them.  For instance I wish to delete google tool bar and when I highight it i can not delete  it.  What can I do to fix this?

    try to download CCleaner. It has a tool that allows you to manipulate the Uninstall programs folder easily and you can even delete the icon of removal tools that dont work like you said.

    You can stop the toolbar from loading by disabling it in IE, Tools, Addons. Also disable the Toolbar Helper at the same time. Vista does not like those utilities from 3rd parties. I'd skip it.

    'Vista does not like those utilities from 3rd parties."
     
    I'm not quite sure what this means? Why does Vista "not like" 3rd party utilities???
     
    I think it's fine if the OP doesn't want the Google Toolbar, but I have it installed and find it indispensable and I certainly haven't experienced any problems with it.
