Running PWBv2 on public PCs in library. Using the old free version of PWB, the Editor plug-in works. Upgraded to PWBv2 and no icon for the Editor is now displayed on the Shellbar of the new browser. The shortcut to the Editor program resides in the Shellbar folder of PWBv2.
Running XP clients on a Windows NT4 domain
The problem exists on XP clients running Service Pack 1 and on clients running SP2.
Is there a way to make the Editor plug-in work in v2 the same way it loads and works in the free version?
Thanks,

HOW TO MAKE THE EDITOR PLUG-IN WORK
Discovered solution to my own problem:
Simply include the FULL path to the Shellbar folder in the PWB.ini.
e.g., C:\Program Files\TeamSoftware Solutions\Public Web Browser v2\ShellBar
Simply putting "Shellbar" for the location only works for the original user profile that installs PWB. Although the browser will work for other users, the Editor plug-in will not work. Edit the PWB.ini to include the FULL path to the Shellbar folder, and the Editor plug-in will work for all users.
