Description

I made this small application to give users a way of auto logging in to There.

* Your Internet Explorer icons might look like shit if your not running winXP or IE6.
16 bit icons are being redone to fix those problems.

Limitations / warnings

Install dir is hardcoded to "c:\program files\"

In order for this program to work you must enter your login information into a file. This can pose a serious security threat as your information is stored unencrypted in a plaintext file.

At this point there is no other way to accomplish this functionality.

Your information is safe once it leaves your computer. It is transmitted to There via POST through SSL/https. (as safe as logging in manually that is)

Also the buttons and files are installed for all users on your system so your information is not protected from other user accounts on your computer.

If you do not feel safe doing this then please do not install this program.

Installation

If you are reinstalling you must first uninstall any previous versions by using the uninstaller located in "c:\program files\bboy\IE there buttons\"

After downloading the file , unzip and run the installer.
After completing your installation. Open Internet explorer. If you do not see new buttons on your toolbar you may have to goto View -> Toolbars -> customize and add them manually. This is usually the case if you've customized your toolbar before.

You should now see new icons on your toolbar.

Clicking any of these buttons will prompt you to edit a js file where you are required to enter your username and password and then save the file. follow the instructions in the file.

If you encounter problems using the provided link to edit these files. Then you must locate the file yourself in your installation dir.Modify it with a standard text editor.eg. notepad.

There is a possibility that some spyware/adware utilities may detect these buttons as being such. It is common for spyware to insert their own buttons and most utils are smart enough to only match preknown ones. However some utils prevent modification of ANY settings pertaining to the IE toolbars or toolbands. You are most likely already aware if you have one of these applications
