This is a pretty fresh installation of XP and a small bug that I have noticed is that after either Office XP or maybe something from windows update is installed, I no longer have the option to add the "Related" button to my IE6 toolbar by right clicking and choosing customize. The option simply isn't there. I have noticed on the exact same system that if I add the button immediately after install, it sticks forever and there is never a problem. I guess what I am asking is ...
What can I do to add that button without installing the full-blown alexa service?

Actually unless I am mistaken you can't since that button relies on Alexa, which we all know is bad.

Unfortunately, you are mistaken. All versions since ie5 (i believe) come with a stripped down version of alexa already installed. It is always installed, but the button is only there if you go into the toolbar customization.
I am able to go into the customization, but I am not able to see the button.
Alexa DOES NOT need to be installed.
Take it easy, and SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!! I like using this feature when I am searching!!!!
AAAAAGH!

It doesn't matter if it is stripped down, it is still spyware so you might as well get the full version if you like it.
