Hi. I posted this in Windows XP forum, that i guess it was the wrong forum to ask for help. In IE6, i replaced the default search sidebar page with my own, that had about 20 search engines and would send the search results to the main page. In IE7, i recreated that custom search sidebar using the following REG: ---------------------------------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; key generated by UUIDGEN.exe (SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2) [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{4193F222-D66E-42A4-A9C3-8D139B124162}] @="IESearch" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{4193F222-D66E-42A4-A9C3-8D139B124162}\Implemented Categories] ; horizontal Explorer Bar [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{4193F222-D66E-42A4-A9C3-8D139B124162}\Implemented Categories\{00021493-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{4193F222-D66E-42A4-A9C3-8D139B124162}\InProcServer32] @="Shdocvw.dll" "ThreadingModel"="Apartment" ; Explorer Bar uses HTML [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{4193F222-D66E-42A4-A9C3-8D139B124162}\Instance] "CLSID"="{4D5C8C2A-D075-11d0-B416-00C04FB90376}" ; HTML location [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{4193F222-D66E-42A4-A9C3-8D139B124162}\Instance\InitPropertyBag] "URL"="C:\\IESearch\\IESearch.html" ---------------------------------------- This creates an entry in View -> Explorer Bar -> IESearch, and it is working. Now i'm trying to create a button in the command bar, that opens my custom sidebar. I tried this REG but didn't work: ---------------------------------------- ; key generated by UUIDGEN.exe (SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\{BF7D43D1-E4D0-48FA-825E-42A8344A0127}] "ButtonText"="IESearch" "Default Visible"="Yes" "Icon"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\shell32.dll,23" "CLSID"="{4193F222-D66E-42A4-A9C3-8D139B124162}" "MenuStatusBar"="Opens Search SideBar" "MenuText"="IESearch" "ToolTip"="Opens Search SideBar" ---------------------------------------- If i change the CLSID value to {1FBA04EE-3024-11D2-8F1F-0000F87ABD16} (same as the messenger button), my custom button shows up and it opens messenger. If i use my CLSID value, my custom button doesn't show up. Can you help me? I only do what the voices in my head command...
