Re: Problems using IE7 - reverted to IE6

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The bar that should contain tools was missing. That's why I also could not
access help files -- that function would (should) have been on the same bar.
I removed IE7 and am not going to reinstall it for awhile because I went to
one of the IE7 newsgroups after reading another message here, and there are
a *huge* number of problems similar to mine. So, I'll stick with IE6 for
awhile. However, I will keep your answer in my files in case I need the
information when I do eventually reinstall IE7. In the meantime, do you
have any ideas for a workaround for the missing bar with File, Edit, Tools,
Help, etc.? (Incidentally, I said I "removed" IE7 -- by that, I mean I did
not use Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Instead, I went back to the
Restore Point I had set immediately before installing IE7.)

Thanks for your help!

go to tools and check menu bar...now you have the options as IE6

customize commamd bar - select add or remove commands, customize tollbar

finish...(if you want to reset the tool bar to default hit reset) now you

I installed Internet Explorer 7 today and immediately used System Restore
to
go back to my earlier settings with IE6. In fact, it was only on my
computer for about 5 minutes!

Here are the problems I encountered:
(1) The task bar that enables me to click on the mail icon and access
newsgroups was missing.
(2) The bar that includes access to Help files was also missing -- as a
result, I could not get to newsgroups and also could not use Help files
to
learn how to bring back the missing features.
(3) The tabs feature seemed unnecessarily cumbersome.

I accept that Item #3 may be based on the fact that I gave it so little
time
(or, more correctly, gave *myself* so little time to learn about it).
However, Items #1 and #2 are very important to me -- and I could not even
get to this newsgroup to ask these questions while IE7 was on the screen.

Can anyone help/provide suggestions? If not, I will simply stick with
IE6.

Thanks,
MaryL
