Re: Version 7.00 features and newsgroup

Actually, I now realize that, when I open up a window, it reads "Google
Windows Internet Explorer" at the top left. Within add/remove programs, it
seems to be listed simply as "windows internet explorer 7" and has a link to
Microsoft which, if you follow it, says nothing about Google.

It seems as if Google, which is my default home page, has branded itself
onto IE 7 when I installed it. Someone asked me if I installed it based on
some message from Google but, to the best of my recollection, I did it using
the windows update, though maybe not. I usually am very careful not to be
seduced by upgrade notices from anywhere except windows update.

In any event, you folks almost seem to be suggesting that I don't really
want IE7 - that IE6 is fine. Or am I misreading you? I assume there is a
way to reinstall IE7, if that is advisable, while sidestepping this Google
branding.

Kindly address these questions. Thanks so much!
Dean

I'll give your links a look see, although it is too late for advice on
"before installation", unless I do a system restore, which I'd rather
not.
Perhaps there is an easy way to uninstall and reinstall, without losing
favorites, etc?

Play it safe. First use IE's File | Import and Export to export your
favorites to a file.

Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs
Removing Windows Internet Explorer 7 returns you to IE6.
