      I use tape, but when I close IE down, the button is still on the screen, so I have to remove the taped-on button manually. The real problem here is that the tape often leaves a sticky residue on the monitor and it's a royal bitch to get the residue off my LCD. I have to be careful to tape the button to the same spot every time to mitigate the spread of the sticky residue.

        Genius :) I wonder why don't you create yet another article out of this.

          Because I haven't figured out how to make tape downloadable.

            Well, may be 20-year experienced programmer would give a more practical advice? MSDN ways Windows Explorer can be customized using BHO. Is it possible to access its toolbar this way?
