So far this is not working on fresh install of IE 9, worked great on IE 8.
Using Windows 7 Ultimate with SP1.

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.

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!

Thanks. What about IE8 under XP, SP3?

Is it the *same* hack?

Virus? Are you kidding me, josh? Homework before flaming:

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.

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!
