Okay I have a nice FireFox extension that detects the FaceBook page and does what I want it to. So using that I created a nice little script that I can add as a menu item in Internet Explorer – When I trigger it it does exactly what I want it to – cool!
So now all I want is for that to happen automatically – This iswhen the rabbit hole opens up and I go spinning down through BHOs (Browser Helper Objects) C++ and ATL. To add another acronym WTF?
I have no idea why that 1 extra step becomes so difficult and to make it even worse you should try creating something using ATL without having MSVCC (I’m trying mingw).
Techno rant over. Maybe I’ll look at Safari before IE
