No, i guess you can't do that with any MS app. IE was designed to be
extended by Plugins and other Exes, so what i did was not kind of a 'hack'
of the Internet Explorer.

You can read more about that here:

btw:
A CLSID is a Class Identifier, and the classes I used here are given in the
above tutorial. A GUID is a Global Unique Identifier, and that is basically a
string that should be unique to identify any Object. Here, IE requests one,
to make sure, that no 2 Extensions are used with the same Name.
A GUID can be easily generated with a tool that is provided with the
PlatformSDK.

Hope this answers the question...
