IE 7 boasts a new slimmed-down appearance which can take some getting used to, even for the most experienced users. In its initial state, the browser hides many of the buttons and options that a lot of us have become accustomed to seeing in earlier versions. However, once you get comfortable with where everything is located, things are not as bad as they appear and Microsoft’s self-proclaimed streamlined interface seems like just that. Feedback regarding the new design has been lukewarm so far, but over time I feel that IE users can grow to appreciate it.

Copy everything after ‘CODE’ below into NOTEPAD

CODE:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
“Search Page”=”http://www.google.com”
“Search Bar”=”http://www.google.com/ie”

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL]
“”=”http://www.google.com/keyword/%s”

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search]
“SearchAssistant”=”http://www.google.com/ie”

1. Save the file as Google.reg
2. Double click to import to your registry.

NOTE: If your anti-virus software warns you of a “malicious” script, this is normal if you have “Script Safe” or similar technology enabled.

If you’re one of the many people that NEVER use the “links” folder in your favorites and can’t keep windows for re-creating it. Here’s how:

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]

Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Internet Explorer\ Toolbar

Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.

Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name:

LinksFolderName

Value Data: [Set the String Value to a blank string]

Open Internet Explorer and manually delete the Links folder from Favorites Menu. The Links folder will not be recreated. Exit Registry and Reboot.

When you enter a user name and password, Internet Explorer may ask if you want it to remember the password. Click on Yes and it will automatically fill in the password next time you enter that user name. But if you check Don’t offer to remember any more passwords, then whether you click on Yes or No, you won’t be prompted again. To recover this feature, launch Internet Options from IE’s Tools menu, select the Content tab, click on the AutoComplete button, and check Prompt me to save passwords.

To delete an individual saved password entry, go to the log-on box on a Web page and double-click. Your saved AutoComplete entries will drop down. Use the arrow keys to scroll to the one you want to delete, and press the Del key.
