if i wanted to make a download manager for internet explorer, would I need to use a browser helper object or something else?
What's a browser helper object?
It's the thing that all those spyware programs install themselves as. It's basically a plugin manager for IE, but they decided not to use the word "Plugin".
It sounds to me like you're writing spyware or a virus, though. Trying to cause some havoc, are we?

You're saying a download manager can't be spyware? Most spyware these days hides in otherwise useful applications, like clocks or calendars or temperature guages or other stupid stuff.
Sure it can!
