Altering Right Click Menu

Is it possible to add "stuff" to the right click menu in IE? I know from the jpg that you must think I'm getting lazy, but this would really be convenient.

I don't know the answer to your question but I do have a solution. The last mouse I bought was a 5 or 6 button mouse that has 3 programmable buttons on it. I just programmed 2 of the buttons to be back and forward.

This is it;

I didn't pay that much for it though. I think I paid $20 for it at http://www.microcenter.com/ at their grand opening.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm using this new "hand held" cordless mouse from Gyration. Guess I could use two mice. But knowing how to edit ANY right click menu by adding, subtracting, and rearranging the order of the items would be nice.

Am looking for a solution to do the same sort of thing you are Bill (using both IE and Netscape).

If you find something, be sure to yell.

well i think i see what you are talking about, and if you have the mouse more toward the top of the screen, the menu will pop 'down' and the back-forward will be right there by the cursor

maybe that will help?

I dont think it's possible( but I might be wrong) since is hardcoded.

If there is any consolation for you here is a trick: r/click and instead of scroling up just press "b" key for "back" or "o" key for fwd. I know is a cheap trick but hey trying to help
