November 2, 200223 yr I discovered this cool feature in Windows that can allow you to add your custom icons to Internet Explorer. Well, I tried this by making myself a cool little button that links me to the MSFN Forums. Anyway, here are the instructions. They might be too hard for some people, but a breeze for most people. 1. Find yourself an icon. Most likely it would have to be the size of the buttons you have up there. 2. Start > Run > gpedit.msc 3. User Configurations > Windows Settings > Internet Explorer Maintenance > Browser User Interface 4. Browser Toolbar Customizations. 5. Once you're there, click on "Add" in the Buttons field. Toolbar Caption: The name of the bar (I put "MSFN") Toolbar Action: The URL to the MSFN forums. Toolbar Color Icon*: The location of the icon. Toolbar Grayscale Icon*: The location of the icon. After you filled in everything, click OK and close the window. You'll have to restart Internet Explorer first, then follow the following steps: 1. Right click on the menu bar > Customize. 2. Find your icon and add it to the list on the right. There, you're done!
November 2, 200223 yr Yes I remember he made something like that too, does he still even browse the forums? Or is he part of the new MSFNR?
November 2, 200223 yr Yea unfortunitly microapocalypse, left us a while back...unknown to be why..but he hasent been around in ages...I was just becoming a Mod when he was still around....but even then we never really conversed on Msfn or even Msn messenger......So at this point in time, i have idea what happened to the guy.....=Drew

August 17, 200323 yr Can some one please change this .gif to a .ico? Also can you .zip it please? This is what I am going to use for my MSFN IE toolbar icon..Thanks........
August 17, 200323 yr That's bloody marvellous that! (Cue toolbar straining under 20 new buttons - with MSFN first of course )
August 18, 200323 yr Can some one please change this .gif to a .ico? Also can you .zip it please?To do your own personal .ico, you save whatever image into bitmaps, and then change the extension to ".ico"Hint: make the image small and light, you don't want to do as I did with my 10 megabytes icon... It was cute, though
August 18, 200323 yr Nice Tip ggtyh... Thanks..... Edit: That seems to work just fine for folders and the like but it will not show up in the IE toolbar... Edited August 18, 200323 yr by Tinker
