Here is a great little app that does exactly what you need.

I used it to add Google as a button (I didn't want to add the entire Google toolbar so I used this instead).

My apologies for not being clearer... I remember when I first tried it it didn't work either.... The program works well but is not exactly intuitive..

Anyway click the link below. It shows 2 screenshots of what you need to do. It's fairly straighforward but you have to do it in the exact order shown.

 

Also after you add a button you'll need to shutdown and restart Internet Explorer.

 

Hope this helps..

sorted, thanks very much for your help and the images, they where most helpful.

I just gotta find some images a bit more useful that the ie one to use for buttons !!!! - Know anywhere?

Actually any icon should work. If you scour the net (via google) you should find many!

Alternately you can make your own. Just use any program to make a 32 X 32 pixel bitmap image. Call it whatever.ico and you can use it.

 

You can also use the icon for any existing program I believe....

 

I like to use an existing icon and modify using mspaint.

 

Take Care
