I want the Favs. menu to say bookmarks, and I want the list items in the menu to say "Add new Bookmark," etc. Anyone know how to do that? | | | |

It would require modifying the IE executeable itself. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 DollarDNS Owner | | DollarDNS Owner Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 | nevermind, I checked the executeable. I don't think it's in there.

IE is so integrated into windows, who knows where it builds the menu's from. Usually the menu's are a resource file stored somewhere - but this does not have to be the case. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 168 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 168 | Hrmm. Sounds like this could be a pain in the [censored].
I want to find a way though. Perhaps if I could use SoftICE....I'll go check that thread now. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 524 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 524 | i r not a grass-hopper! why do u want to do this? seems pointless to me. Why go throught all that trouble just for that? IMO anyway...

Besides, if I can find out how to do it, I'll have learned something.
A guy I know suggested to check the .dlls. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 DollarDNS Owner | | DollarDNS Owner Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 1,273 | been there done that. It is not stored in any file within the Internet Explorer folder. I did a text search through all the files for "Favorites". No likely matches. However, this may only be because the text is in unicode - which means there's a null character in between every letter. So go ahead. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 168 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 168 | | | | | | Joined: May 2002 Posts: 70 UGN Poser | | UGN Poser Joined: May 2002 Posts: 70 | I know how you can change from favorites to bookmarks. It uses bookmarks instead of favorites . Download opera :p
