Does anyone know how to use the Windows tools that worked well with IE 5.0
but not with IE 6.0?

I am talking about the following:
highlight.htm ===> allowed you to highlight selected text
related.htm ===> allowed you to find related subject
zoom-in ===> allowed you to zoom-in on selected images
zoom-out ===> allowed you to zoom-out on selected images
image list ===> opened window listing all images, file sizes, download speed
[est]
links list ===> opened window showing all links on the current window

These were very valuable tools that I used frequently and miss the
opportunity to use with IE 6.0

Thank you.......
 
You can still use them.

IE5 Web Accessories:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/default.asp

For IE6, a minor problem is in Images List you need to press F5 to
refresh the blank list.

This problem has always been there:
From a previous post by Ronnie Vernon MVP:

There is a bug in the web accessories.

To fix it, use Notepad to open ZOOMIN.HTM (found usually in
WINDOWS\WEB ),
and edit it to read both image dimensions before setting any of them:

old contents:
....
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
....

new contents (the 3rd line in the fragment above moved up):
....
h = parentwin.event.srcElement.height * 2;
w = parentwin.event.srcElement.width * 2;
parentwin.event.srcElement.height = h;
parentwin.event.srcElement.width = w;
....

Do the same for ZOOMOUT.HTM.

"Related" is not part of the accessories and should be available to
you.
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.
