Hmmmmm. That makes sense *but* doesn't the help tool require access
to the DQSDTools object (dqsdlauncher in context) in order to toggle
state on searches? We could build the results as a static file and
save it out *if* the script were given permissions to write locally.

Man, this whole
securing-an-app-that-uses-IE-while-not-screwing-up-the-security-of-I
E thing is a PITA.

I really think we need a windows form for manipulating settings and
renaming the searches. Script and HTML just aren't powerful enough
under strict limitations. It's no wonder that the Google Deskbar has
it's own forms - they must have realized this and built their app
around this flaw already. They have limitations in their scope,
though.

It's possible to generate the interface on the fly the same way as
the script does it, enumerating objects and adding references and
setting properties based on the data you retreive.

If we're going to extend the abilities of the deskbar to this
extent, however, I think we ought to add a mini-browser type
interface as well to bring us up to par with Google. That's the only
(valid) complaint I've ever heard by Google Deskbar people of DQSD.
There's the set-system-wide-keyboard-shortcuts thing too, but I
don't think it's a big deal.
