Sorry I worded the question badly. Most of the time when I initiate IE
I want the Favorite toolbar to appear but I have a situation when I am
accessing a filemaker pro database using IE when I want the favorites

So do you need to shortcuts to launch Internet Explorer, one with Favorites

Copy the following code to Notepad, and save as "ie-withfavorites.vbs"
- - -
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "iexplore.exe"
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys "^i"

Double-clicking the file opens Internet Explorer, and enables the Favorites
pane automatically. You can place the script in the Quick Launch folder for
easy access.
