More information

The following Web page describes how to add custom tool band objects to Internet Explorer 5.0 that are patterned on the Radio tool band:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/ext/overview/bands.asp
When a new tool band is added using the instructions on the Web page, its menu item, displayed in Internet Explorer's View/Toolbar menu, duplicates the menu item for the first registered tool band object under the following registry key: 
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar
In other words, the default text value for the CLSID of the first registered tool band object is what will appear, in the View\Toolbar menu, for all registered tool band objects.
