Hi I am trying to use the existing explorer band at the bottom of IE.
the one entitled "tip of the day", I want to re-use that control or
service, and not make another one, and have to register it, and install
it, would somebody have an idea on how to do this.

All doc that I have seen explains how to make a custom one, but i can't
find anything on use of already existing tip of the day explorer bar,
and I will have to replace existing text and content.

any help would be apreciated, thnx

Hi Scas64,

Tip of the day is in-built to IE6. You can cutomize the URL at the following
registry key

HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{4d5c8c25-d075-11d0-b416-00c04fb90376}\Instance\InitPropertyBag
- Url

Replace the Url value with the url to your custom tips document.

mmm. I see that mediatraffic.com does contextual advertising. So put the url
to your ads there. Sorry though you wont be able find the address of the
parent window from there. You need an activeX for that. See the discussion
bar and how it works.

Regards.
