Visual Basic code for Toolbar Button
At the top of Internet Explorer, every user’s command bar/toolbar may have a unique arrangement of
buttons, if the user has reordered or added buttons.
Example of Internet Explorer 11 Command Bar:
The program will analyze the existing Internet Explorer command bar, and then insert a button at the
position that has been compiled into the code.
It is written in VB.NET and is backward-compatible with previous versions of Internet Explorer (IE 5.5
to IE 11). After the browser has been restarted, the new command bar will appear.

To change the values for the toolbar button, the destination URL, unique GUID, and desired toolbar
position can be modified in the Private Sub tgt_inst_Load subroutine and then the code
recompiled using Visual Studio 2010 or higher.
