Adding an item to R-Click context menuDon't know if this is the proper NG for this question; if not, please advise which NG would be correct for such a query. :-) OS: W98se/IE6-SP-1 fully patched. Is it possible to add (a pointer to) the *Security Tab* from IE Options to the R-Click context menu? I am surfing with Active Scripting disabled 99% of the time. It is a hassle when having to enable active scripting even though I have made a IE Options shortcut on the Quick Launch Toolbar. It still involves a few motions and clicks too many as far as I am concerned. If it is possible, might I be pointed to the place where that can be learned if the instructions would be to complex or long to reply with in this newsgroup. I am hoping my question was worded clearly enough to describe what it is I'd like to accomplish. Ferris...? Someone...? Anyone...? <g> Thanks, -- LuckyStrike LS@smokedamagedfurniture.youcandriveitawaytoday.com How to make a good newsgroup post: http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm ------------------------------------------------------------

Post Follow-up to this message Re: Adding an item to R-Click context menuHi Randy, Well, you make it sound so simple. Of course as simple as it is, it isn't as simple as I am. <g> The only script I've ever done was in Outlook2002 to make an AVG antivirus scan button. So, as you can see, my skills - if you want to call 'em that - are less than adequate to fully understand the means by which to implement that which you've offered. So, if I may ask, would I need to install or use something like this to accomplish that which I sto do? http://www.mvps.org/vb/index2.html?tips/shellcpl.htm http://www.mvps.org/vb/samples.htm#Shell32 Please be so kind as to excuse my ignorance in such matters.

Post Follow-up to this message Re: Adding an item to R-Click context menuYea, that first link is pretty well all you need. Start a new VB project, remove the form, add a bas module, open the bas module in code view, go to tools > add procedure and add a new sub and name it Main (important), then past into Sub Main (all on one line) Shell "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL inetcpl.cpl,,1", vbNormalFocus That's it. Run the app (Run > start with full compile) and the control panel should open to the security page (1=security, 0=general, etc). Then just make an exe (File > make exe), and be sure to set the startup object as Sub Main, and save the exe wherever (I use a \windows\utils folder for stuff like this), and create a shortcut to the exe and place it on your desktop. Done. Double clicking will execute Sub Main, which will launch the control panel applet. If you want to assign your own icon you could add a resource file, or a form with the icon assigned to the Icon property and set that icon in the make exe dialog. If you want to go further -- place an icon in the systray and on clicking it show the panel -- the concept is the same but you'd require a form in the app as well as the bas module (it can remain hidden) in order to receive the mouse events over the systray icon -- see the subclassing section on my site for the minimal code to place an icon in the systray (http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/subclass...notifybasic.htm). The changes you would make to the app is (and I'm going of the top of my head here ...): - in Sub Main call the code to Load Form1, but don't show it (eg no Form1 show) - move the Shell code to a new procedure in the bas module, Private Sub ShowPanel - in the load event of the form call the routine that adds the icon to the systray - in the form unload event, call the routine that removes the icon - in the bas module's WindowProc subclassing routine, where the mouse click code is use: Call ShowPanel .. rather than the menu code that's in the site demo When you make the app keep Sub Main as the startup object - it's only code would be: Load Form1 Form1's only code would be: Private Sub Form_Load() If ShellTrayAdd = 1 Then SubClass Form1.hwnd End If End Sub Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer) ShellTrayRemove UnSubClass End Sub ... plus the ShellTrayAdd and ShellTrayRemove routines. The code change in WindowProc would be Call ShowPanel instead of Form1.PopupMenu .zmnuDemo I suggest - if you want to go the systray route - you first construct the site demo exactly as it is shown, then once you get the hang of what's going on you can start to make changes. This is a 10 minute app once you've got the basics down. The only thing (with the subclassed demo) that you **have** to pay attention to is: - in the WindowProc routine ensure all Form1 references are changed to the name you decide to use for the your form - **always** use start with full compile to run the app -- this will catch errors before you run into them executing the app. Subclassed apps die horrible deaths when an error occurs while the subclassing is active! -- Randy Birch MVP Visual Basic http://vbnet.mvps.org/ Please respond only to the newsgroups so all can benefit.

Post Follow-up to this message Re: Adding an item to R-Click context menuRandy,
You've been more than generous in your explanations and even going so far as
to write the code. First, I've not yet digested that which you've got at
your website. <s>
Listen; it *is* going to take me a while to sort this out, as if you've not
figured that out thus far (regretting the moment you tried to help with your
concise initial reply. <BG> )
So, in light of this, if you'd just kind of check this thread every so often
(perhaps once a day) to see if I've made any progress, I wouldn't want to
ask you for more.
I am most grateful for all you've done and offered, and I will try my best
to apply it and learn something. Thanks very, very much; I do appreciate
this noble attempt from your half to explain this, and to help me.

Post Follow-up to this message Re: Adding an item to R-Click context menuLOL Were you looking to create a VB application ? You would need Visual Basic 5 or Visual Basic 6 installed to do what you want to do with VB. Visual Basic 4 might work as well, but someone else will have to comment on that. If you want to just create a shortcut in the QuickLaunch, just Create Shortcut on your desktop, type in the following as the command: rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL inetcpl.cpl,,1 Drag the shortcut to the quicklaunch and there you go. -- Jim Carlock http://www.microcosmotalk.com/ Post replies to the newsgroup.
