I run XP and use Internet Explorer 6.

I am (almost) sure that in the past I have used Microsoft's Web
Accessories for IE5 on my Internet Exporer 6. I prefer Web
Accessories to things like the Google ToolBar

I want to instal Web Accsoreis again but this time it won't work.

I got the download from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/ie5wa.asp
ran it and relaunched IE6. If I press the Quick Search button I
see entries for Google and Google Groups.

But when I type "r computer" it does not search Google groups for
"computer".

Is there something else which I need to do to enable this?

I don't believe the Web Accessories will work with IE 6.0 and you can't
install IE 5.0 on an XP box. Sorry.

Malke, I may not have made it clear but I am using IE6 and trying
to get Web Accessories to work with IR6.
 
when I type "r computer" it does not search Google groups for
"computer".

Did you try doing that with the Edit... Try it... buttons?


FYI Malke is incorrect. IE5 WA work fine on IE6 for the most part
or can be adapted to work under IE6. Search Google Groups
for posts by Jim Byrd which refer to GrabURL.htm for more details.
