    Another great recipe, thanks. Not that I use IE8, but it'll be handy for when someone else asks me how to do this. Cheers!

    I appologize, but if you really think this is a virus, then you are exactly what you say you arn't, ha-ha.

    How could this POSSIBLY be a virus? You can see what it does right there. However, if you aren't familiar enough with ... how things work to feel comfortable doing this, you probably shouldn't do it. Or use computers. Or sharp objects. Or milk.

    Windows XP
    Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
    Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser
    Note If the WebBrowser key does not exist, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Right-click Toolbar, point to New, and then click Key.
    2. In the New Key #1 box, type WebBrowser, and then press ENTER.
    3. Right-click WebBrowser, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    4. In the New Value #1 box, type ITBar7Position, and then press ENTER.
    5. Right-click ITBar7Position, and then click Modify.
    6. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
    7. Exit Registry Editor and then start Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8.0.

    Thanks. What about IE8 under XP, SP3?

    Is it the *same* hack?
  • Emmadw · 2 months ago
    Yes, I've just done that & it works. Hopefully, Bradley, you've already got an answer to it; but as I've just done it, I figured I'd reply as someone else might want to know!
