A client of mine wants to load an IE toolbar WITHOUT registering the dll in the registry.
Any idea on how to do that?
I figure i can hook registry reads in IE and let it think it's registered, but that seems like an overkill...
Anyone know a simpler way?
The dll an ActiveX dll written in VB6.
Thanks.
There is no good reason for not registering the toolbar dll in the registry, and AFAIK it is the only way to get your toolbar loaded.
He wants to load it from a limited account, and you can't write any reg keys.
Anyway, there are ways to get reg-write privileges on a limited account, but i don't want to provide him that kind of source.
I was thinking there's another way...
Nobody? :(
Ghirai, afaik the is no simpler way. The only thing IE does to determine which bho's to load is by checking CLSIDs in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\, so there is probably no other way other than hooking the registry access function.
