There are some Web sites out there that have a fill in the blanks approach to IE toolbar building. http://www.effectivebrand.com/ is one I know of. It does create a decent looking toolbar, but I'm not sure if it is just more spyware. Haven't investigated them that closely.

Well, this is the single biggest reason there aren't more toolbars for
IE. That article I linked to earlier starts out saying something like
"If you've been doing windows event subclassing for a while, this
isn't too tough, but instead we'll take the easy route and use
multiple inheritance with the C++ ATL."
Talk about setting the bar high! I've been a dev for 11 years, and
that still sounds like too much trouble to me. :)
