Guest boe Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Hello, I'm trying out Windows 2008 and so far it seems to run much faster than Vista SP1. I seem to be able to run almost everything I can with Windows XP but I can't figure out how to add my custom icons back to the toolbar in IE7. I've installed this in the past on all my systems by creating a folder called c:\install\iebuttons and I have about 10 urls with icons that I put in the command bar of IE. I have registry files I click on and it creates the shortcut I want - i.e. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{3B296460-5FFE-47e0-B37A-AD8029A6EF8C}] "Default Visible"="Yes" "ButtonText"="Google" "HotIcon"="C:\\install\\IEButtons\\google.ico" "Icon"="C:\\install\\IEButtons\\google.ico" "CLSID"="{1FBA04EE-3024-11D2-8F1F-0000F87ABD16}" "Exec"="http://www.google.com/search?as_q=+&num=10&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=lang_en&as_ft=i&as_filetype=&as_qdr=m3&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&safe=images" However when I've added all these registry entries, go to customize the command bar in ie - they don't show. Can someone tell me what I need to differently? Thanks! I'll try and find a newsgroup for Win28K in case this should go there.

I got help from the IE group from Victor Krammer HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ works like a charm!
