| 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; http://shop.store.yahoo.com/a-c/mousoppd.html
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.

No help here so far. Checking another forum for help. TechIMO people - let's get on board here. This is my main forum for help. Don't let me down.

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
