After installing XP SP2, My IE6 no longer has the 'Show related links' menu
item under tools. Did this get moved somewhere else? How do I get it back?

Thanks
 
Hi,

I just got a new notebook. I don't see "show related links" under Tools in
Explorer so I searched and found this discussion. I followed the
instructions to copy over related.htm, but when I tried to right-click on
alexa.reg, I cannot find choice of "merge". Pls advise.

Thx,
YC

Click to expand...

Instead of right clicking on it (you may be on a 9x or ME system) just
double click (left mouse button) it and it will prompt you to allow it to
write the information to the registry. Well, it should.

Try this response from Ramesh:

It's removed in XP SP2. To get back the functionality:

Download: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/alexa.zip
Unzip, place "related.htm" into your "\WINDOWS\Web" folder
Right-click on "RestoreAlexa.reg", select: Merge, and reboot.

-or-

For Pre- XP SP2 systems, type regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll in Start,Run to
get
the extension back. If you're using Ad-aware, add the Related
extension to
exclusion list.

If you are using the first option and for some strange reason, you do
not have a right-click Merge option for .reg files, then just run
Regedit and Import the file.
Start-Run-Regedit
Use the menu option Registry-Import
