Here is a great little app that does exactly what you need.
I used it to add Google as a button (I didn't want to add the entire Google toolbar so I used this instead).

Hope it helps.

"Please fill in all form elements and select and icon"
well i have selected an icon and i have filled in everything except the bottom bit which says ADD NOW but i have ticked the box but cant figure out what i am meant to do! but if i untick the box the button will creat i just dont know how to add it to the toolbar then

My apologies for not being clearer... I remember when I first tried it it didn't work either.... The program works well but is not exactly intuitive..
Anyway click the link below. It shows 2 screenshots of what you need to do. It's fairly straighforward but you have to do it in the exact order shown.
Also after you add a button you'll need to shutdown and restart Internet Explorer.
Hope this helps..

Actually any icon should work. If you scour the net (via google) you should find many!
Alternately you can make your own. Just use any program to make a 32 X 32 pixel bitmap image. Call it whatever.ico and you can use it.
You can also use the icon for any existing program I believe....
I like to use an existing icon and modify using mspaint.
