Adding Custom Buttons to Internet Explorer

Have you ever wanted to extend the Internet Explorer toolbar by adding your own buttons? Say you wanted to add a button that launched [Dreamweaver], for example, or some other tool you frequently need to access when browsing the Web. Or maybe you'd like a button that launches a script that opens your company intranet home page in a new IE window.

Perhaps you'd like a button that does some other custom action, such as launching Notepad (if you're cheap)... to jot down some notes. Or maybe you need to allow users to perform some action on a kiosk machine that allows access only to IE and not the Start menu or desktop.
