Where can I find the button/icons for FrontPage and MSIE to place on my site?
 
Do you mean the FrontPage program Icon and the Internet Explorer Icon you
see on your desktop??

First, read this:
http://www.microsoft.com/permission/copyrgt/cop-img.htm#Icons

Then you will need an Icon editing / extraction utility to extract them from
the exe and dll files on your machine.

You mean this?:

Linking to Microsoft Web sites
Generally, Microsoft does not object to parties making referential links to Microsoft's web sites . However, we prefer that any reference to our company name or product names appear in a simple font and format and that you use appropriate words, such as "This way to Microsoft.com" or "Click here for more information on Microsoft Frontpage". You may not use the Microsoft corporate logo on its own, nor any other Microsoft graphic or logo to make these links, unless you go through a Microsoft Link Logo Program. There are a number of Microsoft Link Logo Programs described on the Microsoft Trademark Questions web site at http://www.microsoft.com/trademarks/. If you do not choose to use any of these logos under the licenses provided, you should not use any Microsoft logo or graphic to make the link.

Nuh uh. I saw the icons on another site that is right-click disabled but found:

<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/" target="new"><img src="MsieBrowser2.gif" border="0" width="88" height="31"></a

and: <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/" target="new"><img src="MsieBrowser2.gif" border="0" width="88" height="31"></a

The icons are animated logos. They're basically just little icon/buttons to put on my homepage. I've searched in microsoft.com for them. These codes do no good as they reference to .gif's that I don't have.
 
You will find the images in your temporary internet files.

The logo's would not link but just be acknowledgement of using FP and IE. Is this trademark violation? For instance, "This site is best viewed using MSIE." or "This site was created using FP 2000." The logo/icons are only for visual ref's to the statements.
 
That site is very slow to load and uses Java applets ... not such a good
idea if it is to be viewed in IE. And quite frankly little animated gifs
like that are very 'old fashioned' now...... but then you're not doing a
first grade site!! There are many things about that page (site) that you
don't want to copy .. it's very amateurish.
ETC
 
Dunno, I'm not an attorney. Trademark infringements suits are expensive and you have to prove actual damages, that's what I know about it...and the fact that I see the Frontpage Link on a zillion sites.

LOL The only thing I liked was those 2 icons... if you look at mine, I think you'll see the difference ... even if it is a 2nd grade site!!! LOL
 
I find all sorts of cool image files in my temp files all the time...quite a treasure trove.

As you see those images are linked to Microsoft. The FrontPage Logo at one time would be installed
when you applied a theme.

See:
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/ip/trademarks/linklogo.asp
for the Get Microsoft Internet Explorer Logo

Just because you see another site using a logo, doesn't mean that you also have a right to use that
logo on your site.

this site is a better design than the other one....but I still don't see the MS
Logos you're asking about....
 
I believe she means the "created with Frontpage" and "Best viewed with ...."
icons.
 
the agreement in the licence to use the logos is to link back to Microsoft - what
is the harm in having the links!?

generally not tm infringement unless you alter it or misrepresent it's intended use...ms does have a terms of use for logos on their site.
