Displaying Google Toolbar from desktop icon

In Internet Explorer 9,  my  Google Toolbar will not display when I double click my desktop icon;  but when I click a trusted hyperlink from an email,  Internet Explorer 9 opens with the Google Toolbar in full display!

I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit, SP 2

           Internet Explorer 9

            Norton Security Suite (Comcast) without Constant Guard ( incompatible with IE9)

           All microsoft updates as well as all program updates.

I would appreciate any instructions so I could see the Google Toolbar at all times!  I have uninstalled and reinstalled it 3 times with no success, and in my menu bar, VIEW, it is checked, and in AD-ONS it is enabled. HELP!

Also, every time I have tried to post here,  the ID at the bottom has rejected my letters many times before I finally gave up.  This is not an easy site to navigate?
