IE Toolbar context menu

[Welshjim]

I feel as though I have seen discussion of this somewhere, but forgot.
Depending on what programs you have installed, when you right click an empty spot on the IE Toolbar, you will be offered to check which toolbars you want to have shown. (For example, Address, Google, Norton AV, Links, etc.). Just the other day I noticed that if I check to have Google Toolbar show, I get Norton. And if I check to have NortonAV show, I get Google.
Now that I know that, I can adapt.
But does anyone know where (in the Registry?) those items can be made to perform properly when checked?

I searched the reg for MSN Toolbar and found at least ten spots. A few of them had path statements to the program folder. You might give it a shot..

My bet would be:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions

Could also be in here
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt

Hope this helps

Sadly, I do not think any of those suggestions are the solution.
I suspect, but am not sure, that the place in the Registry is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar which contains the following info
Name Data
"{5854FAC4-5BF0-47DD-B5A9-A5EA8CFF3CF4}" 00
"{2318C2B1-4965-11d4-9B18-009027A5CD4F}" 00
"{42CDD1BF-3FFB-4238-8AD1-7859DF00B1D6}" Norton AntiVirus

2318C2B1-4965-11d4-9B18-009027A5CD4F is the Google Toolbar. But how do I change the 00 to Google? And if I did would that solve the problem?

[XOR]

The values 00 are correct, don't change them.
Look in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{clsid number}\InprocServer32 instead.
Values should point at the location the program is installed.
For Google Toolbar:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2318C2B1-4965-11d4-9B18-009027A5CD4F}\InprocServer32
the default is c:\program files\google\googletoolbar1.dll

Juno Toolbar:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{5854FAC4-5BF0-47DD-B5A9-A5EA8CFF3CF4}\InprocServer32
Not sure...c:\program files\juno\toolbar.dll ?
Do you need this one?

Norton should point to drive:\path\NavShExt.dll

XOR--Thanks so much. All the Registry settings were as you said.
I must give you the credit for solving the problem, but it involved a little twist.
I did not have the Juno Toolbar showing (nor was it checked on the context menu), but I clicked to have it show, which it did. And then, lo and behold, the context menu settings for Google and NAV worked as they should.
I hope others, if they ever have this problem, will be so lucky.
Always nice to have things work the way they should, even when it is not a system threatening problem. :)

I'm glad you've got it fixed.
Although trivial, I imagine it could be a nuissance.

If you chose to have Juno Toolbar not showing, does it still work?

[Welshjim]

XOR--Yes. Checking Juno and then unchecking it on the context menu was how I got Norton and Google to reset properly. Actually I did not try to use the Juno Toolbar, but it looked like it would have worked. I do not ever use it. Juno put itself on that Context Menu.
