Indeed, I installed the IE7 upgrade on another computer and the same thing
happened except that it is branded with yahoo, which was its default home
page, rather than Google. So, it seems that this IE7 does this kind of
thing, that I cannot blame it on Google, but should blame it on Microsoft?
Any thoughts as to how to stop this, if I reinstall 7.0, assuming you
suggest I should? Perhaps that was in the links you sent me?

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!

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.
