Re: I don't like IE7

I have the answer for this problem with IE7

This message is from a friend of mine @ another site (Who i have invited here).. He is very knowledgable in these areas and when i saw his post i thought of Dani (And others) who dont like this @ all!!!

Quote originally posted by zipulrich ...
Annoyed by the placement of the address bar in IE7, I used a reg hack last night to move it below the File Edit View bar. After poking around a bit though, I found an easier way - plus I was able to get rid of the equally annoying (to me, anyway) xtra search bar (next to the address bar). This works in XP Pro only:

Fire up the Group Policy editor and navigate to User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Internet Explorer. In the right pane is a load of nice options, one being "Prevent the Internet Explorer search box from displaying", another "Moving the menu bar above the navigation bar". Right-click, choose Properties and tick Enable.
Ta-daa!!!!
Thank you ZIP

Re: I don't like IE7

My main gripe is that the Home, Refresh, Back, and Forward buttons are all in very awkward places.

Re: I don't like IE7

Agreed, Microsoft has done the one thing they should really never do: mess with a well established UI.

One of the main reasons people quote for not moving to Firefox, in surveys various publications I work for have carried out, is they don't want to learn a new UI. It is almost like Microsoft is daring them to swap...

Re: I don't like IE7

its all about getting used to the new UI. It took me a while (i started out with a beta), but i've finally gotten used to it and the new placements dont annoy me anymore.

holy cow dani, 30"!!
My eye doctor told me to use a smaller screen after my 23" started giving me headaches. So I had to go back to my trusty old 19 incher CRT.

Re: I don't like IE7

I think I'm one of the lucky ones ,as i can't update to IE7, it can't
write to the registry for some reason ,I'm guessing maybe iespyad or some other security program ,even though i uninstalled to try again ,I use Firefox anyway for couple of yrs now ,

Re: I don't like IE7

Ok first of all I absoueltly LOVE IE7 It's the best thing ever and to turn off tabbed browsing go tools>Internet Options>tabbed browsing and at the top of the page It'll say "Use tabbed browsing". So just unclick the box and your ready to go!! By the way I also like the tabbed browsing It comes In handy.

Re: I don't like IE7

i like tabbed browsing and the fact you can have many homepages also i like how if you click the 4 squares icon to the left of the tabs you can get thumbnails of all the tabs which is useful when researching or replying to lots of posts
