Did you use Ad-Aware to remove it?

My "related" sites option disappeared after I installed XP's SP2. I just
now started researching this issue to restore that option. I do know that
the filename is "related.htm" and is stored in the C:\Windows\Web folder,
however mine is missing completely. Check if yours is in that folder and
let me know. I suppose it is understood that the AdAware program deletes
or misplaces it. I will be back with more info...

Copy this:

Run it then restart your computer. I created a restore point first, just
in case. My related sites button is back & running!!! (I did NOT have
AdAware on my computer, BTW. I suspect XP SP2 was the culprit).

Try this response from Ramesh:
It's removed in XP SP2. To get back the functionality:
Download: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/alexa.zip
Unzip, place "related.htm" into your "\WINDOWS\Web" folder
Right-click on "RestoreAlexa.reg", select: Merge, and reboot.
-or-
For Pre- XP SP2 systems, type regsvr32 /i shdocvw.dll in Start,Run to
get the extension back. If you're using Ad-aware, add the Related
extension to exclusion list.

Alan-- you are awesome! It worked! Although... I ran that kelleys-korner
thing first, and what I ended up with was a restored "related" icon in my
toolbar, but nothing happened when I clicked on it. My computer is running
a bit strange now. I created a restore point before I messed with any of
the tips, and I'm thinking maybe I should restore the system and then
perform your suggestion over again. What do you think, Alan? Did I muck
something up in the registry?

Oh boy. It seems I get all excited then something goes wrong. Now when I
click on the "related" icon, I get the Alexa related links on the left as
usual, but then the screen clicks again on its own and the whole window
mirrors the related links column. If I go back a page in my browser, the
previous window is restored and the related links remain intact on the
left. Although it's really only one additional step to take, I fear there
is something more serious going on. So I resubmit my previous query:
Should I restore & redo?

After the great wrap you gave me, I find it hard to say, but I must:
Please quote previous messages or nobody will know what you are
referring to.
As you don't mention your operating system, I am uncertain as to what
a "restore point" will do. Win Me? Win XP?
I would trust anything Kelly had on her site.
(That is Kelly with two, if she is reading this)

Yes, things can go wrong when I get excited too, though that may be
irrelevant.
Depending on your operating system, a restore and redo may help,
though I am at a loss to understand why. Sorry, but I have never seen
the need to use related links myself.
Have you compared what you did with what I suggested?
Is there any difference?

Sorry Alan, I haven't. House got flooded during storm in N. California and
haven't had much time to worry about related links and such.
Unfortunately System Restore is not allowing me to restore to any previos
restore points. I hate that. So now, yet another problem. I may just
have to bite the bullet and pick up sometime later on/ However, I do so
appreciate your help. BTW, I don't know why I miss the button like I do,
but I do find myself using it now & then. I find it helpful when looking
for particular items especially wholesalers/retailers. Mainly, i just
don't take kindly to modifications being made to my "personal" computer
without my consent, and least of all my knowledge!

My OS in XP Pro, sorry. Thought I had mentioned that. I thought that
with the multiple procedures I followed regarding trying to restore the
related links button on the toolbar, that I may have sent mixed messages
to the registry or something.
I apologize for my lack of etiquette and fear that my abilities leave a
little to be desired as well...!
