Hi Mapsonx - Well, I can address a couple of your questions. IMO at
this point in time if you do a clean install of IE6SP1 without ANY
interfering software such as AV's (especially anything by Symantec) and
then install as a minimum hotfixes 330994 (lastest cum update for OE)
and 818529 (lastest cum update for IE), then most people report a fairly
stable system. Not all do, however, so YMMV. As to the Web Accessories
and the Power Tweaks - both work in IE6 although you need to fix a
couple of bugs (left over from IE5.x days, BTW, so they should be fixed
there also if you're using it in IE5) in Web Accessories. You can get
it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/ie5wa.asp
It works fine in IE6 except that you'll need to do an F5 Refresh on the
blank page that the Images List click brings up to finally get them.
Thorsten Gudera has created both German and English "corrected"
Versions of imglist.htm which fix this. You can contact him here:
Thorsten.GuderaATt-online.de (replace AT with @ sign). For Toggle
Images (which you'll find on your Links toolbar), remember that you'll
have to refresh after toggling to see the effects on the current page.
(BTW, if you place a shortcut to it on your Quick Launch toolbar or
wherever, you can also use it to prevent spam HTML emails from "calling
home".)
Here's also a fix for "Copy Location" courtesy of a poster nicknamed
Caveman I've verified that this works fine for Win2kPro and should for
any other OS as well:
"Use Notepad to open GRABURL.HTM (found usually in WINDOWS\WEB), and
edit as
shown below:
[FIND:]------------------------------------------------
document.all.location.value = win.document.location.href;
[REPLACE WITH:]----------------------------------------
document.all.location.value = win.location.href;
[END]
(so, the only thing to do is removing ".document" from the line)"
Be aware also that there is a bug in the Zoom functions. The following
is a (modified)
quote of a previous posting by Alan Edwards of a previous quote by Ron
Vernon which outlines the fix: Regards, Jim Byrd
"I have not checked recently if the error has been corrected.
Without looking at your attachments, I assume you have made
adjustments like this old post by Ron Vernon MVP, which I made myself.

This is a bug in the web accessories.
To fix it, use Notepad to open ZOOMIN.HTM (found usually in
WINDOWS\WEB ),
and edit it to read both image dimensions before setting any of them:
old contents:
....
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
....
new contents (the 3rd line in the fragment above moved up):
....
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
....
Do the same for ZOOMOUT.HTM changing '*' to a '/'
..

I've attached corrected versions of zoomout.htm and zoomin.htm since
they're fairly small. (If you have a firewall, they may get re-named
extensions - just change back to .htm) You can just place them in
\Windows\Web if you chose.
Related Pages and Google Similar Pages work fine - however, you will
need to consider whether you're willing to accept Alexa for the Related
Pages (considered by some including AdAware and SpyBot S&D to be
spyware) or modify the Related.htm to reflect a different forward URL
such as Google. Here are two relevant lines to use in Related.htm:
RelatedServiceURL="
http://related.msn.com/related.asp?url=";
//RelatedServiceURL="
http://www.google.com/search?as_rq=";
The first one, the current default line is for Alexa, while the second,
commented-out one is for google.
Perhaps this will help a little.
