Tut tut... not very helpful. Don't listen to 'im!

S-M-A-K... you can add your own toolbars (called Web Accessories) - some you can get here, others, if you're a developer, you can try your hand at making yourself. This will allow you to add your own custom buttons to the IE toolbar area.

For even further info, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/ext/extensions.asp

Or you can download the IE admin kit from Microsoft's site and make yourself your own customised version of IE....

BNC

if its just a button you want to add try this.
Right click on the area of the window where the back and forward buttons are etc..
Make sure there is a tick mark beside the Links option. This should bring up a new toolbar.
Next go to C:\windows\favorites\links
create the shortcut to the program you want in there.
Hey presto it should appear on your links toolbar in IE

Hope this was what you were after?

make a folder called "my apps" or somthing, and fill it with yummy shortcuts

just right click on your start bar and add a new toolbar, and point it to the folder.

then drag the new toolbar, or leave it on the start bar.

my quicklaunch bar has one minimize all button, and the top of my screen has loads of icons for apps.
