How do I do this

[RudyL]

Hi All, How does one add a link to the internet explorer tool bar?

I have attached an example... It has a link to weatherbug.. when clicked it performs the same action like when you click on the icon in the system tray..

First, I hope that was not your computer. Weather bug is *Malwear*.

If your looking to do something similar look into BHO's

Good luck

what's the scoop with weatherbug? i know it has a few advertising cookies, but never heard anything about it...

Here is one opinion.

ad aware still lists it when I do a scan, and I had to choose 1 advertiser to run the free version, but other than a free videotape, I see nothing else that it is doing, and there is NOT any spyware on my system. wb just releaesd a new version, too. i liked the old one better, but i stil haven't a reason to delete it.
also, none of the three sites listed it as spyware.

I'm still open to hearing comments on it

thanks for adding the link, martin

First off if you buy the real thing from them there are no problems at all. I have had it for 3 years now and have had no issues at all.. But that is not at anywhere near the place I wanted to go with this topic... But thank you for you comments..


Now, back to the intended topic, I was just wanting to know how to put a link like that in the browser..

dedub.. What are BHO's? I have never heard the term used before.
