Installing and setting up a IE toolbar

[Brian]

I've developed a custom toolbar dll for Internet Explorer. Now I am trying
to create an installer for it. Registering the dll is all it takes to get
it to show up in IE, but you have to go to the view menu and select it after
restarting IE. I was wondering if there was a way to make the toolbar
automatically show in IE after it's installed. Even better, is there a way
to have it show up without restarting IE? Thanks.

Hi Brian,

You may post this question to IE Programming groups.

These links might help you implement the Band object, BHO:
