How do I stop the EZP icon from appearing on the menu bar?

Whenever I use Word or edit email in Outlook the EasyPhoto icon "EZP" appears
and accumulates in the menu bar. How can I prevent them from being created?

Somewhere on your computer you have the EZ-Photo application (probably
installed by a scanner or other hardware). This software adds an add-in to
Word's Startup folder, and the add-in adds the button(s) to your toolbar.

Unfortunately, the add-in was written for Word 95 and doesn't function
properly with later versions, so you need to remove it. Once you've done
this, you can remove any and all EZP buttons from Word using Tools |
Customize. The files you're looking for (to delete) are Ezpwll32.wll,
Ezphoto.wll, Ezpwll.wll, and Ezpwll16.wll. You'll need to display Hidden and
System files in order to find these using Windows Find/Search.

For more on EZ-Photo, see "WD2000: Problems Caused By EZ-Photo 2.7 and
Earlier Versions [Q224727]." Note that it should *not* be necessary to
rename Normal.dot as this article suggests; this will remove all your
customizations, and the only reason I can see for doing it is to remove the
EZP buttons, which you can easily do yourself.

Thank you much! This EZP thing has been a real nuisance to me...

Thanks again for your help and making me a little more "jolly".

I have Vista and it won't let me delete the one such file I can find. Help!

Are you trying to delete it with Word open?

I can't recall, but will try again now. Wow, it must be gone now, after I
closed Word. I can't find any of these files under advanced search, but did
before. I hope I no longer get the difficulty closing word. Thanks, Susan.
