    - Explorer 7 Home Page Problem I have recently been having problems with IE 7 and the home page function. I have been trying to reset my homepage but IE does not allow me to do so. I can change the page address in Internet Options, apply the changes and close Internet Options but when I open it again, whether through Explorer or through Properties on the Explorer shortcut, the original homepage is listed. I have made sure that my computer is up to date using the update website but it has not solved my problem. I haven't installed anything new on my machine and have run comprehensive virus scans to no avail. Has anyone come across this problem before? What can I do to solve it?

    - Cannot view Pictures posted to web by other users Hi all, I'm having a problem viewing pictures that have been posted onto a Forum that I am a member of, and this has only started recently as I could view the pictures last week. All i get on the relevant pages, is a blank area with the words "Click to Enlarge" at the bottom. Is this a Cookie handling problem? Or Firewall? My OS is XP Pro, and I have Zonealarm Security suite Installed, (Which I had to Re-install recently due to a bug or Foible that caused it to run erratic, but it works now) Cannot think of what I may have done to change any settings that may affect the viewing of these pictures. All other members of the Forum can see them, but not me, and if the pictures are sent to me direct by way of a link, then I can see them no problem. If you have any ideas as to what this may be, I would be very Grateful............ Nick........ Tag: Deleting Favorites in IE 7 Tag: 146364

    - Slow logon when not connected to network after IE7 install Exactly the same problem as described here: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general/browse_thread/thread/78eeeb211f81c3b3/a4919dbcba70eb71 However, I'm not able to post there for some reason (never used these discussiongroups before ;-) ). Basicly, after installing IE7 on aprox 250 computers all the laptop users complain the Windows logon takes ages (i.e. 10 minutes) when they work offline. When they're reconnected to the network everything works flawless. Latest updates do not seem to help. The logon screen is stuck at: Running startup scripts... I can't see why it wont get past that, since it wont find logon scripts to run from the DC anyway. Tag: Deleting Favorites in IE 7 Tag: 146351

    - registry setting to change IE 7 cache size? Hi there, Is there a way in the registry (or GPO, but I haven't seen one) to adjust the size of IE 7's Temporary Internet Files (cache) setting? Since upgrading to IE7, the default cache size for all users on a terminal server has defaulted to 1024mb. I'd like it to be no more than 50mb, as it's eating up way too much disk space. I've adjusted the settings in the default profile but can't seem to find a way to adjust it automatically for existing users. Thanks, Sir_Timbit Tag: Deleting Favorites in IE 7 Tag: 146348

    - transfer from xp to vista using pc mover A couple of months ago I purchased a Dell Inspiron 1720 with Vista. I used PC mover to transfer all data from my Dell Inspiron 5100 running XP to the 1720. Now I believe I have updates and hotfixes from my 5100 on my 1720. Does anyone know if I can delete them? Or will deleting them cause me more problems than I already have. 1. Cannot download or install most updates, some do get through. 2. Cannot create restore point. 3. Cannot uninstall programs. 4. Cannot install upgrades from a CD. 5. Currently disabled windows firewall, and deleted McAfee. No other firewall as far as I can tell. Any comments and/or help will be appreciated. -- opalocka Tag: Deleting Favorites in IE 7 Tag: 146268

    - IE Standards Conformance Dear Microsoft people, please, I am begging you, please make the Internet Explorer conform to all the WC3 standards soon. Up to now your browser is still giving me a huge headache every time I develop a new web page. It's very (very!) frustrating that 50% of all development time for an arbitrary html page is lost making this page work on IE after it already works on all the other browsers out there. Just to get the point right: I develop it once and it works on all the browsers just like that, except on the IE. And for the IE I have to practically redevelop it and confuse all my clean code. This has to stop somewhere. I am begging you. Please address this. If you're concerned about backwards compatibility, which you should be, I suggest that you make IE 8 and 9 fully backwards compatible with previous versions by default. However, programmers should get the possibility to set a flag for each HTML page by which IE is switched to something you might call "WC3-Mode". In that mode, IE should behave like Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and all the other standards conformant browsers. I mean, I don't need your competitors to make my point. The point is: Just conform to the standard, PLEASE! I beg you again! Please address this soon. The Internet is full of pages about IE bugs. (Example: http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer.html) Why haven't you been doing much about it in the past? Please do it now! Fix these bugs and inconsistencies with the standard. Thank you very much in advance. T.L. (from Germany) ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Favorites I'm using Vista Ultimate along with LiveCare for my virus and firewall with IE7. I noticed that there have been some posts concerning the following issue: "The target "" of this Internet Shortcut is not valid. Go to the Internet Shortcut property sheet and make sure the target is correct." What I read in these posts is that the people experiencing this problem were using XP along with Antivir. I assumed that AntiVir was a name for a specific antivirus program. Does anyone have a solution for this since the posts on here were in 9-2007 and here we are in 3-2008 with Vista and LiveCare users? -- jbbeaird Tag: Deleting Favorites in IE 7 Tag: 146264

    - Find on this page as default search provider I review articles on websites and quite often I search the page I am currently on for keywords. I would like to set "Find on this page" as my default search provider so I can just use the search field up at the top of IE to look for keywords within the article instead of clicking on the down-arrow and selecting "Find on this page".

    - Images on IE on top of one another hello, I have IE7 on an xps420 that is about 3 months old. The problem I have is that on some websites the images overlap, or words will overlap each other etc. I updated my video card drivers just in case, but no dice! I am running vista home premium. At first I thought it was a problem with vista, but I used another pc with vista about a month ago, and didn't have the same issue! any suggestions! is there a name for this? I was trying to find some info, bc I'm sure I'm not the only one this has happened to, but didn't know the best keywords to search with! Thank you, Luis PS I don't know which this would fall under, but when I open a pdf acrobat reader document through IE I cannot print, save or change pages throught the toolbar. any ideas on this one!

    - font & Text size - IE7 1) There seems to be no way to change text size and have it "stick" so that subsequent page will show the same size text. The default seems to be "medium" with no way change it and make it stay changed. Can this apparent defect in IE7 be repaired? 2) I recently suffered a crash.

    - IE7 Returns HTTP 400 errors and "Cannot display webpage" messages New installation of MS WXP Pro with SP2, NIS 2008. The machine connects to the Internet, the IPConfig /All looks right, MS Messenger connects, as does e-mail. Yet IE7 yields an HTTP 400 error or "cannot display the webpage" on every attempt to connect to a web page but the first one. Meaning - if I Reset IE7 settings in Internet Options I can connect to the Microsoft.com home page, but can NOT click on any link from there. I cannot at any time open WindowsUpdate nor MicrosoftUpdate. Other web pages fail too. All MS Updates were installed earlier this month, NIS 2008 appears to be updating fine and has the most current version of its updates - from the best that I can tell. All scans are clean.

    - I want to manually enter URL's Here's the problem, when I go to enter in a URL by either copy/paste or type it in, I always supply the http:// and especially https:// and I have noticed that now when I type in the full URL, Internet Explorer 7 also enters in http:// which makes it impossible to get to a website, and it is also the case when I need to get to a https://. I did find a fix for entering a secure site, under Tools/Internet Options/General Tab/Languages/ and selecting the box that says Do not add 'www' to beginning, etc. This did fix it so I can enter in https:// and continue to the specified site, but I still cannot manually enter a regular http://. I rather enjoy having full control, and do NOT like automated features so please tell me how I can force IE 7 to allow me to do something so simple as enter a full URL.
