Pa Bear, I did not use the Installer to download my IE 7; missed it. ;-))
But, of course, I downloaded it only from MS's website... should I
un-install and re-install using the download program? I'm concerned about
missing some of the highly important codes.

I've been running IE7 since the very first private beta, Jeff, with no
issues whatsoever.

Required reading IMHO before installing IE7:

Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then
STOP!
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install
(ignore any references to Vista)

And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspxas the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

Alternately, use this Direct Download link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-338....

Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.

Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
installing IE7 and install any critical updates offered.  If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing
it to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.

Although I have kept up with all the critical updates on my XP systems,
including SP3, I have avoided IE7.  When it first came out and installed
itself, I hated it and uninstalled it. Since I use Firefox 99% of the
time
and only use IE for the Windows updates, it was not great problem.

Shame SP3, didnt put a print preview button option in IE 7's tool
bar:(

I've been hearing that users now seem to not mind the recent versions of
IE7
and I am therefore considering downloading it on the off chance that it
is
safer to use than IE6 when I have to use it instead of Firefox.

Are the gurus here using IE7 instead of IE6?  At one time it was pretty
much
thumbs down for IE7.
