Re: search tab

YW & thanks for your feedback.

I would recommend upgrading to IE7 for its enhanced security but if your dislike of IE7's "layout" trumps any security concerns you might have, so be it.

If you disliked IE7, steer well clear of IE8! (Go to Windows Update | Select CUSTOM & scan | unchecked then "hide" IE8 & then install any critical security updates offered.)

There will come a time when your WinXP boxes kick the bucket. Assuming you purchase a new Windows computer, it'll include IE7 (if Vista) or IE8 (if Windows 7) by default.

Robert and PA,
Thanks for your help, looks like I am good to go.

How mant people do you suppose are like me and holding on to EI6? I never
liked the way IE7 was laid out. Have you all tried 8? Guess I will have to
make the switch sooner or later. Never went for Vista XP Pro worked so well.
But I guess I will try the new one.

The same thing has happened to my wife's notebook

back?
