    - Graphic Desktop Shortcuts Missing I have a client who has about 30 Internet Explorer shortcuts on his Desktop. Each has a graphic from the originating site with the sites logo. It helps him identify each easily. We recently installed a new computer and transferred the shortcuts. BUT the graphics are missing, all shortcuts have the standard Blue E. How do I get the graphic icon transferred and setup on the new computer? CD Tag: IE 7 Tag: 150599

    - IE 7 Opening links in Flash files has now become impossible. Firefox will open these links Safari will open these links IE 7 will not.. This has happened since the need to double click was removed from the programme. I have reinstalled IE 7 twice and it still refuses to work. I suspect the problem is widespread and the programmer responsible for this mess needs fixing. Most people are giving up on using IE 7 as a consequence. The version of IE 7 being used is the latest and has no add ons - it is out of the box as is. Will Microsoft be fixing this problem any time soon? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - IE7 hangs "Fixing" troubled computer for friend-- hadn't been to windows update or run antivirus for years. I recently spent hours getting updates (now running XP SP2), installed and ran LiveOneCare, and Spybot S&D....found tons of bad stuff. Now, when I install IE7, it won't connect to any site...just hangs, makes no progress, doesn't even time out. When I go back to IE6, no problem. Also, I can run "quick scan" on LiveOneCare, but when I try to full scan, it gets stuck every time at about 80%....on IE! Any help? thanks Tag: IE 7 Tag: 150592

    - Resolved Shrink to fit default! Through hours of scouring posts and finding minimal fixes from MS, I discovered the Outlook printing "hotfix" adds a reg key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_STF_Scale_Min] "pst.exe"=dword:00000064 changing the print default to 100% Since our business uses some apps that use the IE7 browser to print from, add: iexplore.exe"=dword:00000064 as another value defaults printing to 100% in this app. Recently another program printing option (for ID cards) was defaulting to shrink to fit even though it appeared it was using the browser. After conversation with the vendor found that it was using a Crystal wrapper (exe) through the browser as the print call. So it too was fixed (set back to 100% as default) once entering it into that reg key. <sigh> SO if this theory is correct most applications that use in part the browser and call some form of proprietary executable might just respond to this "fix" I hope this helps others :) Tag: IE 7 Tag: 150572

    - IE7 Favorites in XP and Vista When I used XP, I had an extensive Favorites list that included a number of categories with several web sites in them. When I would click a particular category, and arrow would point to the various web sites within that category. I would then click on the particular site. I exported the Favorites folder to my newly-installed Vista Home Premium. Now when I click a particular category, I have to click the category again to have a drop-down list of the sites. This "drop-down" list stays expanded until I click the category again. It is a small point to have to re-click a category to have the drop-down list disappear - but an irritating one. Is there a workaround for this? TIA Tag: IE 7 Tag: 150569

    - Problem with Outlook Express Ver 6 since IE 7 installation For some reason, since installing IE-7 on my PC some e-mails inside OE lock up when opened (being viewed) (NOTE: this action is not consistant with all msgs). Usually they have a graphic (picture). What happens is that is I can not negotiate in or around the msg (can not scroll, right click, pick anything from the menu bar), all that is available is anything outside that particular OE window and upon closing (Able to pick the red 'x' in the upper right corner to close the problem msg). However, even after closing I can not pick another msg to read. I need to close out of OE all together then reopen. When reopened, as long as I stay out of the file that is giving me trouble, I have no problem. Should I try viewing the msg again, the will freeze OE again. Is there any fix to this problem?

    - IE7 Install not trusted So I decided to upgrade my work comuter from IE6 to IE7. This update was not in the Windows Update menu anymore so I went to microsoft.com and downloaded the installer (Yes, I checked to see that it wasn't just hidden.. it is not in my Windows Update at all). When I go to run it I get this message: "This publisher has been blocked from running software on your machine." www.dissonance.us/fusionowners/up/001.jpg I went into IE6 and removed Microsft from the Untrusted Publishers list as the link on the bottom of the message suggests. I then restarted the computer and tried again. Same message. So I then installed the cert by clicking the link that says "Microsoft Corporation." Restarted computer and same message. When I installed the cert, I let it do this automatically. After that didn't work I manually installed it everywhere on the list that had the word trusted in it.... same message Tag: IE 7 Tag: 150547

    - IE6 not updating a page I develop web pages on one computer with a Vista / IE7 configuration. I have another computer with an XP SR2 / IE6 configuration that I'm using to test the pages. Problem: I update my code, confirm that it's updated on my first computer. When I go to view on the second computer, IE6 won't update the page. I have tried: 1. Refresh button, F5. 2. Selecting Tools | Internet Options | Temporary Internet Folders | Settings | Every visit . . . (Also tried Automatically) 3. Deleting Temporary Internet files via Tools | Internet Options and via CCleaner. 4. Re-starting the program after each of the above steps as well. Nothing works and it's pissing me off. Can't be anything to do with my ISP as my first computer is updating no problem with both IE7 and FF2. It appears to something going on with IE6. Ideas anyone? M Tag: IE 7 Tag: 150545

    - Some web page text unreadable in IE7 Hello all: I have a PC running WinXP and IE7, that is current with Windows Updates. Sometime in the past couple of weeks a strange problem occurred: on some web pages, some text is unreadable in IE7. I can't figure out why. It's not specially formatted text, and often the unreadable text is just a few words within a sentence when the reast of the sentence and paragraph are readable. If I highlight the text a few times, sometimes I can get part of it to display temporarily. It appears to be an issue with IE7 and not with the particular web pages, because those web pages are entirely readable in an alternative browser such as Opera. Has anyone heard of this issue? Could it be an issue introduced by some recent Windows Update? One other thing, possibly related or not, that also occurred recently: in Outlook 2000, when replying to HTML messages some of the reply text I type is unreadable in the message compose window, even though when the message is sent the recipient does in fact have all the text I typed and it is all readable. I thought I'd add this, in case this symptom of some text being unreadable is related to the IE7 issue. Tag: IE 7 Tag: 150529

    - Downloading mp3 music files I have Windows XP Home Edition and Internet Explorer 7 installed. Downloading mp3 music files has always been fine, until recently. Usually when I download mp3 files, I right-click the link and click Save Target As... and easily save the mp3 file to my documents. However now when I go through the same process and click Save Target As, instead of allowing me to save the mp3 file to my computer simply as it is, it tells me, Save as type: Movie file (mpeg).

    - Proxy authentication problems Hi, I have a windows 2008 server with IE7 on it. We connect to the web through a proxy server which requires authentication. Usually when I open IE it asks for username and password which i specify in the format domain\username then the password. This works on my 2003/XP machines using IE but not 2008. Firefox works just fine using the above method and automatic updates works fine too (all using the same proxy server) it's just IE won't accept the credentials I enter at all. Any ideas?

    - open IE to most recently used tabs I'm using IE 7 on Win XP Home SP2. Several years ago, I used to have IE set so that each time I opened the browser, it opened to whatever pages I had open when I last closed IE. It helped considerably when IE quit unexpectedly and I didn't want to lose track of the several pages I was working on. It was certainly an earlier version of IE, and may have been on the Mac. I want to set my preferences so I can open that way again because I'm getting so many sorry-IE-has-to-close messages (You don't have to respond to that problem; I've found it on another thread and am working my way through proposed solutions). I've searched, but cannot find, how to set my preferences so that when I launch IE, it will open to the tabs that I had open when I last closed down. Can I do that in IE 7?

    - IE7 Toolbar to auto-hide like taskbar I have my taskbar set to auto-hide and set to be on top of all other windows. I have my taskbar on the left side of the screen. I really like this configuration. My IE7 Toolbars are at the top of my screen (default). How do I set IE7 Toolbars to auto-hide just like my taskbar? I had IE4 set this way years ago. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do that again. Back then I ran Win98 with IE4. The taskbar set to the left of the screen and set to auto-hide. IE4 Toolbars set to the top of the screen and set to auto-hide. It was great!!! I have to believe Microsoft retained this feature from IE4 throughout the updates through IE7.

    - File Download Prompt Hi, I am having a problem with the File Download prompt in IE 7 and I need your help. On our Intranet home page we have a series of links that download MS Word files from one of our network drives. When we click on one of these links, we get the File Download dialog box which asks "Do you want to open or save this file?". It also has a checkbox that says "Do not show me this message again." If we check the checkbox, the dialog box never displays again, and for us, that's a good thing. The twist is that we also have an application on the Intranet (on a different server box from the home page mentioned above) that also opens MS Word documents. When this application opens a document, the File Download prompt is displayed, but WITHOUT the "Do not show me this message again." checkbox, so there's no opportunity for us to check the checkbox to get rid of the prompt. Is there any way for us to do this? Both servers mentioned above are running Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6.0. The Intranet Home page is written in ASP and the other application is ASP.NET. We are using IE 7.0. Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, C. Tag: IE 7 Tag: 150404

How does your computer respond when you click for a new tab? Does it simply
lock at that point? Do you get the "Welcome to Tabbed Browsing.." tab before
it freezes? When I first started using tabs, it took me a while to try
clicking on home to see what happened there. Good luck!
