The option to "show related links" to a displayed web
page is missing on my browser's Tools menu. How can I get
it back? I am running Windows XP Pro and the latest
version of Internet Explorer.
 
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,\

"Icon"=",4"
"HotIcon"=",4"
"ButtonText"="@shdoclc.dll,-866"

---- end file above here

Laurie,

In addition to Alan's expert advice, you may add the 'Related' on a per-user basis. Or, add it to Ad-Aware exclusion list.

"Related" toolbar icon is missing. How to restore?
