I am hoping to create a software installer that will create a button on the IE toolbar that links to my web site. This button will appear in the 'standard button' area, not the 'links' area.
I have already created a button with an external piece of software that simply adds a registry key...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{3037FC09-62A6-4446-AA30-BB9DB0CD9B65}]
"Clsid"="{1FBA04EE-3024-11d2-8F1F-0000F87ABD16}"
"ButtonText"="My Web Site"
"Exec"=""Icon"="C:\\Windows\\icons\\myicon.ico"
"HotIcon"="C:\\Windows\\icons\\myicon.ico"
"MenuText"="My Web Site"
"MenuStatusBar"="My Web Site"
"Default Visible"="Yes"
Can someone explain the string that appears after '\Extensions\' in the registry entry above? Could I package this registry entry exactly as it is and expect it to import into every other computer or are these strings specific to my computer? The same question applies to the 'Clsid' value.
