If you should have access to some non web based applications and can't see them in the top bar it means you are not running "Active X Scripts". In order to make the icons visible and launch the non web based applications we need to enable the "Active X Scripts". When the "Active X Scripts" are enabled you will then be able to launch the non web based applications from the web browser. Please note that Mozilla Firefox does not allow "Active X Scripting" so there is no way to launch the applications from Firefox. The following steps demonstrate how to enable the "Active X Scripts" in Internet Explorer.

Firstly we need to access Tools>>Internet Options>>Security>>Trusted Sites>>Custom Level. See the previous walk-throughs to view this process in detail.

On the window opened by clicking the "Custom Level" button we must go to the "Active X Controls and Plugins" area. Look for the "Initialize and script Active X controls not marked as safe for scripting" option. See below for a screenshot of this:

Enable this option and click "OK" to accept. Upon refresh you will now be able to see the non web based application icons on the top bar.
