Tim,

Known issue. It's because some spyware removers delete this CLSID. To restore this button:

The related sites feature you probably removed with AdAware for no
good reason, as far as I can see.
There is no spyware in the Registry key that AdAware removes.
If you let AdAware remove it, then try this:

Make up a file from the lines below. Copy into a file called fix.reg
which should be created in Notepad. Do not retype, copy in case of
errors. The 1st line in the file is the line REGEDIT4
Make sure your mail or news reader does not add any spaces to the end
of a line.

Ensure the first long line does not wrap at the space in
"Internet Explorer"

The last line must be blank.
Doubleclick fix.reg

-----copy below this line fix.reg------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Extensions\{c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a}]
"MenuText"="@shdoclc.dll,-864"
"MenuStatusBar"="@shdoclc.dll,-865"
"Script"=hex(2):43,3a,5c,57,49,4e,44,4f,57,53,5c,77,65,62,5c,72,65,6c,61,74,65,\
64,2e,68,74,6d,00
"clsid"="{1FBA04EE-3024-11D2-8F1F-0000F87ABD16}"
"Icon"=",4"
"HotIcon"=",4"
"ButtonText"="@shdoclc.dll,-866"

---- end file above here

I created the fix.reg file, just like you suggested, and
rebooted. It restored the "Related" Icon...Hooray!!!

Thanks for the suggestion!

By the way....I am running Win ME (please don't laugh) so
the other fix suggestions didn't work.

Again, Thanks!!!

I won't laugh.
Kelly's fix would have worked with an adjustment for Win9x.
If you ever have cause to use an XP reg fix, then replace the first
line:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

with

REGEDIT4

No problem. Most users don't post the OS they are using. Mentioning the Operating System would ensure faster and accurate replies. Thanks to Alan for the Regedit.
