    I can't tell you how to do it, as I don't know, but it's absolutely possible. Most third part download manager software has options to become the default downloader for IE, I presume they just modifiy the registry in someway to achieve that. Either as some sort of application forwarding key or by rewriting the ones IE uses for its download engine.

    You would need to edit the registry ...

    DONT EDIT THE REGISTRY UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

    SHORT-MEDIA.COM TAKES NO RESPONSIBITLITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY EDITING THE REGISTRY.

    Its most likely HKEY local machine / microsoft / internet explorer.

    As for building it, what language?
