These links (and many more inside) explain cookies & security zones in IE 6.0 (The reality and not MS fiction):

I found this info in the first one:

"While cookies can be easily blocked by adding web sites and domains to the Restricted zone, IE 6.0 provides no quick, convenient way to add sites to Restricted zone. Users must open the Internet Options box, navigate to the Security tab, and add URL's manually. Interestingly, you can download an add-on utility from Microsoft that will put "Add to Trusted Zone" and "Add to Restricted Zone" options on the Tools menu, but those options ought to be in the default interface -- without them, the Security zones are a pain to use".

The aforementioned info is about a quarter down in the navigation bar.
The name of the tool is "Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 Power Tweaks Web Accessories" and this is the link where to find it:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...ss/default.asp

Maybe it's not really a right click shell ext but sure it looks much easier than navigating int-options.
I didn't install it because 1) I don't use rest-sites that much, & 2) it's an add-on for IE 5.5. However it should work fine. I installed 6.0 over 5.5 and it kept all the tools from 5.5 without any conflict.
I have the protection of GoBack, however if you plan to install it, as a precaution set a restore point in Sys-Restore. Close all apps, WAIT 10 secs for the Sys to stabilize and then set the restore point. The reason that Sys-Rest fails sometimes is because people set rest-points with 15 apps running at the same time. That's crazy even for XP (I'm using 98SE, though so stable I could call it 98XP).

The shell-ext part: I'm no programmer so no luck there, however if you have any installed already, go to: c\win\sys\shellext or wherever it is in Xp and you should find: A): a dll with the instructions for the ext to run, and B): an INF file with setup instructions. Usually you unzip both of them and then right click the INF file and choose "install". The inf file register the dll with win, associates the ext with Explorer, writes entries in the registry, and I believe also contains uninstall info. You can investigate all this yourself as long as you have any shellext already installed. So there you have it, just a dll & inf file away, and I'm truly sorry I can't help with this one.
