How to include a new button on Internet Explorer? 2

[goepfert]

I work most of my time on the internet.
Is it possible for me to include a button on Internet Explorer tool bar which would be a shortcut to one of my applications?

I tried to drag and drop a shortcut to the toolbar but it wouldn´t work.... Not always that easy ;-)

thank you,
Fabio

IE doesn't support this sort of functionality, AFAIK.

If drag and drop doesn´t work, is there a work around?
I have AOL and MSN messengers on my toolbar!

Maybe it can be done :

You could program your own browser in VB.
Looks a bit blocky, but you can program your own custom toolbar that way (e.g. with button that directly opens tek-tips) ;-)

Done that before and works-a-nicely!

PAndersen,

Thanks a lot. It worked just fine... really easy once you know it

Congrats PAndersen!
That's a long and winding road for IE, but you can drive it.
