Place your own bitmap on Internet Explorer's toolbar

If you look at the background of Internet Explorer's toolbar, you'll see a very low profile bitmap. You can actually change this bitmap just like you can change Window's background (well, maybe not so easily!).

• Run "Registry Editor" (Run "RegEdit.exe" or "RegEdt32.exe")
• Select:
  
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
  Software\Microsoft\
  Internet Explorer\Toolbar
  
• Run "Internet Explorer"
• Select "View | Options | General"
• Uncheck "Background bitmap" checkbox
• Switch back to the Registry Editor
• Add following parameter as a "REG_SZ" type:
  
  BackBitmap
  
• Value of the "BackBitmap" parameter should be set to the path to your bitmap (C:\WINNT\SETUP.BMP for example)
• Switch back to "Internet Explorer"
• Check "Background bitmap"
• Click on "OK"

Now you should see the newly specified bitmap on your Internet Explorer's toolbar.
