I checked when I selected cutomize under my IE toolbar and it wasn't an
option to add - can you see if you know what I did wrong.  This is the first
button I'm trying to add.  I didn't know what Icon to use so I downloaded
the google searchbar into my install\google(don't install) directory :)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Extensions\{3B296460-5FFE-47e0-B37A-AD8029A6EF8C}
"Default Visible"="Yes"
"ButtonText"="Google"
"HotIcon"="C:\\install\\Google(don't use)\\GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe"
"Icon"="C:\\install\\Google(don't use)\\GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe"
"CLSID"="{E0DD6CAB-2D10-11D2-8F1A-0000F87ABD16}"
"Exec"="http://www.google.com/search?as_q=&num=10&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&bt

Can be implemented as anything (COM if you are a programmer). Easiest, you
can go for "Executable"
Sample entry for 'AOL Instant Messenger' Internet Explorer button, starts
"Executable" aim.exe

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Extensions\{AC9E2541-2814-11D5-BC6D-00B0D0A1DE45}]
"Default Visible"="Yes"
"ButtonText"="AIM"
"HotIcon"="C:\\Program Files\\AIM95\\aimres.dll,144"
"Icon"="C:\\Program Files\\AIM95\\aimres.dll,143"
"CLSID"="{1FBA04EE-3024-11D2-8F1F-0000F87ABD16}"
"Exec"="C:\\Program Files\\AIM95\\aim.exe"
"MenuText"="AOL Instant Messenger"

Here you have a Visual Basic source code and you can compile this code if
you want to automate the toolbar icons addition.

Thank you.  Boy, Microsoft doesn't make it easy to just add a few url icons
to the toolbar, I would have thought this would be a common request.   The
instructions state they are for COM Objects, Scripts, and Executable files -
which one would a URL come under - script?

I have a few web pages I use so often it would be nice to assign them
buttons instead of going through favorites.  Is it possible to assign new
buttons that link to urls in the toolbar?  I'd like to create buttons like
the home button but for other urls.
Thanks
