  Hi

  Search msdn for showbrowserbar method (IWebBrowser)

  If you want it to be displayed when the browser starts, regardless of the user preference, use this method in a satelite BHO.

  If you want your toolbar to be dispalyed after a web installation, take them to a page on your web server where you can call the showbrowserbar with javascript. (the client will need to have enabled scripting of the web browser in their security settings). A more universal approach would be to just give them instructions on using the toolbar context menu to select the toolbars they want to display.

  DO NOT write to the ITBarLayout, like the Google and Del.icio.us toolbars do.... this will overrite any user toolbar customization preferences.

  Forcing your toolbar to be shown on startup of the browser will not be very user friendly. The user should retain the option of displaying the toolbars of their choice. There have been alot of complaints about this behaviour in the IE7 forum, and many users have mistaken this behaviour as a feature of IE7. Do no evil!

  Regards.

  Hi,

  Send us your explorer bar dll and I will package it for you with a toolbar button to toggle its view. I have written the utilities to generate inno setup scripts for this purpose, but these are still in a beta phase.

  See my examples at http://www.iecustomizer.com/ url=iepanels

  Regards.
