And the question is..... What regkey('s) do I export to capture my IE toolbar layout? I'd like to remove some rather annoying buttons that are extremly rarely used, like the "lookup" button.

I used Advanced Registry Tracer to do a before and after snapshot to get the toolbar just the way I wanted it. I'm attaching the relevant entries. Beware, it's not pretty. However, it does work for me every time.

EDIT: I would recommend trying this in a VM first in case you don't like it or for some odd reason it has unintended results.

Hmm, basicly what your saying is that the following key need to be exported?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar]

I have to be honest with you.. it's been so long since I got those registry settings the way I wanted them that I have not looked in there in ages. Just watch out for any branches that might have non or semi-related entries.

Thanks this cleared things up for me.

I also found out how to disable, and then also remove the button to the "lookup extension" (dont know exact what its called in english), through .reg.. (the winrar like icon button).

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings\{92780B25-18CC-41C8-B9BE-3C9C571A8263}]
"Flags"=dword:00000001
"Version"="*"

but after exporting ..what is the use of it??

The key is exported from a configured system so that it can be used to pre-configure an unattended installation.

That setting contains a ton of information specifically tailored to your preferences, Yungsters. I believe amit_talkin was asking why his IE toolbar should look exactly like yours. Perhaps you could add a description or (even better) screenshot of your toolbar layout to let others know what to expect from those settings.

Whenever possible, I'll set up my toolbars on the target machine, and use Regshot to locate the settings I need. I suppose simply navigating to those points in Regedit and exporting them would be just as easy.

Oh! Sorry, I didn't mean for you to use my settings. I was trying to show where the keys that control the Internet Explorer Toolbar were located.

However, if you want to use mine, feel free to do so. :lol:

(I've attached a preview of my toolbar. I wouldn't say everyone'd like it, but it saves space.)

Yup, your right, I don't like it hehe ;)

But thanks for providing the key to export...

It's strange though, cause regshot does'nt register any changes when i alter the toolbar layout. (add/remove buttons)

Take a shot beforehand, make the changes, then close the Internet Explorer window and try taking the second shot. If that doesn't work, make sure you only have one browser window open.
