Hi,

Is there any way to install an Internet Explorer toolbar in the "active"
state, i.e. with the View>Toolbars>"My Toolbar" menu item checked and the
toolbar visible.

My toolbar .rgs file is as follows:

HKCR
{
 MVToolbar.MVToolbarObj.1 = s 'MV'
 {
  CLSID = s '{19BDA04B-AACD-46ED-B2FA-5C71B289B131}'
 }
 MVToolbar.MVToolbarObj = s 'MV'
 {
  CLSID = s '{19BDA04B-AACD-46ED-B2FA-5C71B289B131}'
  CurVer = s 'MVToolbar.MVToolbarObj.1'
 }
 NoRemove CLSID
 {
  ForceRemove {19BDA04B-AACD-46ED-B2FA-5C71B289B131} = s 'MV'
  {
   ProgID = s 'MVToolbar.MVToolbarObj.1'
   VersionIndependentProgID = s 'MVToolbar.MVToolbarObj'
   ForceRemove 'Programmable'
   InprocServer32 = s '%MODULE%'
   {
    val ThreadingModel = s 'Apartment'
   }
   'TypeLib' = s '{DC9180A4-6B8D-462C-9ADE-65975BD956E4}'
  }
 }
}
HKLM
{
 Software
 {
  Microsoft
  {
   'Internet Explorer'
   {
    Extensions
    {
     ForceRemove {D1EDFDDA-9EA5-4985-B8BA-2DCB1A479D3B} = s 'MV'
     {
      val BandClsid = s '{19BDA04B-AACD-46ED-B2FA-5C71B289B131}'
      val ButtonText = s 'Show/Hide The MV ToolBar'
      val Clsid = s '{E0DD6CAB-2D10-11D2-8F1A-0000F87ABD16}'
      val 'Default Visible' = s 'Yes'
      val 'HotIcon' = s '%MODULE%,451'
      val Icon = s '%MODULE%,452'
     } } } } }}

This results in the toolbar menu item being unchecked.

Thanks,

Jan
