Hi

I am very new to programming in total and have made VB.net my first language
to learn. I can make a few very simple programs that I was taught in the
book Microsoft Visual Basic.net Step by Step Ver 2003 by Michael Halvorson.

I would like to make a simple program that would let me make an extra button
for Internet Explorer. It's a simple idea but not sure if it is quick and
simple to program or not. Basically I would like to create a button that
when you click it on the browser toolbar will open a new browser window at
the same web location that the first window is on. Not too complicated. I
know you can do this by just CTRL +N but I still wish to make a button.

What would be the best way to go about creating this button and what sort of
coding would I need to know.

Thanks if you can help..

I've been searching everywhere as well on how to do this in Vb2005? Does
anyone have a simple example of how to accomplish this?

Thanks for any help!!
