Once the installation is complete, simply click on the Finish button to close the installer.
 
Step 4 -- View the toolbar

With that done, internet explorer will open automatically and on top you can see the bing tool bar appearing in the browser.

Step 5 -- Disable the toolbar

After you add a toolbar to internet explorer you can even disable the toolbar from the browser. For that, go to the tool menu and click on internet options.

Step 6 -- Go to the "manage add-ons" option

Once the new window opens up, go to the program option then click on the manage add-ons option.
 
Step 7 -- Select the added toolbar
