Save/Restore IE Toolbar setup?
Posted by _W on April 15th, 2006


Every steenkin' time that I run the system low on RAM, IE's toolbars
get swapped around. Google toolbar moves to the bottom. The links
toolbar turns into a dropdown. A couple html-monitoring tools move to
one side. Always the same result.

This happens consistently when I open a lot of IE windows. Like over
20. I suspect it's a resource thing, as I have 1.5GB of ram.

Is there a program that can save/restore the toolbar positions? Maybe
I could write something to capture registry entries (if they're even
stored there?), but I'd prefer not to get into that if I don't have
to.

BTW, once this happens, I always have to reboot to get back to normal.
XP will not recover if I simply close IE and Explorer windows.

Try opening Regedit, navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
right-click the 'Toolbar' key and select 'Export'.
Name & Save. When you need to return to your toolbar click the saved file.

Thanks, Drew. I assumed that I'd have to write code, but if all
locations are in that key, then that should be simple.
