I have IE6 w/ SP1 running on XP SP1. All of a sudden, my what's related
icon doesn't work. I know it is probably something simple, but I can seem
to fix it. Any help? Thanks
 
Thanks for the information - however, I'm confused - I guess it doesn't take
much. (1) I have the related button, it just doesn't work. (2) I did what
the article says, but it says to download related.html here and when you
click on that it goes to a blank page and (3) It says that the related
button may not work with Zone Alarm Ad-block set to medium. What is Zone
Alarm? I do have Norton internet security set to block ads, but no idea how
to fix the related button.

Sorry for not being more computer literate - but can anyone help?

Thanks

I think Alexa has taken down the page. MS did not renew their contract with
Alexa.

The button is not available in WinXP SP2.

Hi,
If you're willing to play with this, you should be able to have "Show
Related" go to Google. Go to http://www.imilly.com/alexa.htm Look for this
section:
"Or you can fiddle with it so that it uses Google to find related links,
instead of Alexa. See the instructions below."
