Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer do not use standard menus. They use
text-only toolbars. To work with these, you'll need to use the TB_xxx
messages, though to do anything non-trivial (i.e. use a message that passes
or returns a string) you'll need to get your code into IE's or Explorer's
address space.
