All you need to do is drag the address from the sddress

box in IE and drop it in the links section of the
toolbar. Hope this helps

Marcia,

It involves editing the registry. Not too easy for an end-user as you've to generate seperate GUIDs for each toolbar button.

See a sample here:
Adding Toolbar Buttons (Internet Explorer - Browser Extensions)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/ext/tutorials/button.asp

To generate the GUIDs, use GUIDGEN (available from MS Visual Studio pack, i think). If you're not comfortable at that, use the 'Links' folder and store the very favorite websites there.
