Works great for me but also doesn't show up in the COM add-ins area. When it is uninstalled, the toolbar remains.

Susan: Version 1.1 installs into the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE section of the registry; add-ins that hook into Outlook from there do not get listed in the COM Add-Ins dialog. The advantage of this is that the add-in is available for each Windows account without manual intervention.

"Ghost" toolbars have been resolved with version 1.1.0.3.
