How to Edit My Yahoo! Finance Scrollbar
Yahoo! offers a variety of browser plug-ins, including a scrollbar listing your favorite stocks and other financial news. The scrollbar, like other Yahoo! toolbars and pages, lets you edit which stock values are present on the plug-in as well as what news feeds and other information you want to receive. Once you make the edits, your Yahoo! Finance scrollbar is automatically updated with the changes.
