MSN & Yahoo Messenger Toolbar Buttons

Hi guys,
Is there any way of allowing the messenger buttons within the toolbar of PWB. Id much prefer this if possible rather than having desktop icons, as the shell has been replaced.

PWB does not support IE Browser Helper Objects as this is a function of the IE User Interface and not the HTML Rendering Engine PWB uses.

You should be able to put the Messenger Shortcut on the PWB Shellbar.

Enable the Shellbar.

[Browser]
...
ShowShellbar=True
...

Create a shortcut to MS Messenger (msmsgs.exe), usually found in the C:\Program Files\Messenger folder and put the shortcut in the Shellbar folder.

[Files]
...
ShellBarFolder=ShellBar
...

This will place a button on the Shellbar that launches MS Messenger.
