Skin IE

[Big Booger]

SKIN IE
Justin from Fairfield, Calif., called asking how to skin Internet
Explorer.

If you're ever tempted to download Hotbar to add colors or images to
your
IE toolbar, don't. It's notorious spyware. Instead, use the Group
Policy
Editor if you have Windows XP Pro.

You can also modify the Registry if you're comfortable with that.

1. Backup your Registry

2. Start by creating a bitmap of about 80x80 pixels.

3. Run RegEdit and navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet
ExplorerToolbar.

4. Select the BackBitmap entry and pull down Edit|Modify.

5. Type in the path to your bitmap and close RegEdit.
