Design Your Toolbar With Registry

Toolbar in IE, is the easy access to the wide features provided. But it is even dumped with unused icons. But now you can design your own toolbar with few simple commands.

So here you go for a complete new look.....

* Click Start ==> Run

* Enter "Regedit"

* Browse 'HKEY_CURRENT_USERS' ==> Software ==> Microsoft ==> Windows ==> CurrentVersion ==> Policies ==> Explorer

* Righk click in the right-pane and select "New" ==> DWORD value
* Name it as " SpecifyDefaultIcons" and enter the value as "1".

Now begins the adventure....

* For individual icons, create the DWORD values provided below and then double-click on each and assign a value of "2"

Btn_Back ==> Hide Back

Btn_Forward ==> HIde Forward

Btn_Stop ==> Hide Stop

Btn_Search ==> Hide Search

Btn_Refresh ==> Hide Refresh

Btn_Home ==> Hide Home

Btn_History ==> Hide History

Btn_Favorites ==> Hide Favorites

Btn_Folders ==> Hide Folders

Btn_Fullscreen ==> Hide Fullscreen

Btn_Tools ==> Hide Tools

Btn_Size ==> Hide Size

Btn_MailNews ==> Hide Mail

Btn_Print ==> Hide Print


Now to make the icons visible, simply double-click the DWORD value of the icon and assign a vlue of "1" (or)delete the DWORD value.


Wasn't that cool!!! Please comment...
