Make it so that they have to reformat to get rid of it. Also, make sure that you don't make a Mac version. Thanks.

on your XP/win2K CD there is a "support" folder
Inthere you will find a program called "Winstall light" or something like that.
It is used to make Installation packs .. long story

This is what you do:

1 - remove googlebar
2 - Install Winstall, and make the "before install" run
3 - reboot
4 - Install googlebar
5 - reboot
6 - run winstall and make the "after install" run

It will now build you a .msi pack - AND (this it the important thing) build you a list of the changes made to your system during the install - that way you get the answers to your question :-)
