    - Stop IE from opening 2nd window every time When I open IE, it goes to my home page, which is a blank page. Then I type in the site (www.abc.com) and it opens a second window for that site. The origiinal blank page remains. Then I have to delete it. When I want to open another site, I have the same problem. It didn't used to do that. What have I done? and how can I eliminate those double windows? Tag: ICON changed to default Tag: 157911

    - ARRG! IM SOO FRUSTRATED WITH IE7 ok so i got this new convertable tablet pc. for the first few days, the internet worked fine, but then it stopped. At first, it was saying that i was not connected, and then it said there was a ip address conflict. When i looked at the connection, it said it was transmitting, but not recieving anything (could it be firewall?). I then took it to a technician, who said it worked fine, but that the computer was set to a static ip address, and had to be a dynamic ip address. He then said it was my network at home. I am a student, so i do the majority of work that needs the internet connection at home. The connection is a broadband/wired connection (i dont know if this is a LAN). All the other computers use windows XP and mine has Vista. Also, a friend who also had vista could not connect to the internet. Pleeease help me. Tag: ICON changed to default Tag: 157889

    - Error 0x800B0100 When Using Auto Updates In recent weeks, the following has been happening: I open the Automatic Updates Box. I click on the link at the bottom: "Windows Update Website." (YES, updates are set to be updated automatically.) The IE7 browser opens to the update site; the site starts checking for ActiveX controls; and, then I get the following message: "Error number 0x800B0100 The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view" However, if I click the Refresh button on the browser, the page loads fine. Until a couple weeks ago, this never happened. Tag: ICON changed to default Tag: 157874

    - Suddenly can't post via IE - this is via Firefox I tried to reply to a comment today(I was logged on) without success. The screen blanked momentarily and the little green loading bars appeared at the bottom but then the screen reverted to the message I was reviewing. I ALSO could not start a new thread. This is being written in Firefox with no problem and I was also able to reply Possible cause?? In IE(7) I got some cookie notices that I blocked. For the FIRST TIME in my life I saw a Privacy Report at the bottom of the screen, This had to do with the blocked cookies I believe but the cookies referred to did not seem to be involved with Microsoft.

    - forcing IE back to a page automatically What I am looking to do is force IE back to a page automatically after a page not found error when I lose connecivity due to a wireless deadspot. I know this sounds weird, but I was able to do this on an XP Prof workstation with WSH running in the back ground. The WSH script would launch that instance of IE and then check every x number of seconds to make sure it was at the desired URL, if not, the script would force it back to the correct web page. This was in done so that nework drop outs (don't ask) could be recovered from automatically. Now I am on Windows CE 4.20 and WSH does not seem to come with it, so I am trying to come up with a equivalent alternative. Any ideas?

    - restore IE7 browser-history & browser-history not being saved In attempting to correct a problem of browser addresses not saving, the number of days to save history was lowered to the point of loosing some much needed URLs. I would like to recover the correct history file from my backup program. The difficulty is that I do not know which file to restore and its location in the maze of folders NOR do I know if this might be a solution to regaining the lost URLs. So, in order to locate a three-week-old file backup copy, what is the actual file path/location to my IE7 browsing-history file OR is there another way to retrieve something from my backup that will restore the older browsing history? In anticipation of restoring the URLs, I have increased the number of days to keep pages in history. FYI, I still haven't figured out why IE7 stopped keeping track of my browsing history. Thank you so much for any help/suggestions. Tag: ICON changed to default Tag: 157857

    - strange input text element problem(xml included) Hello.I have the following strange problem.

If my xml data contains utf characters i don't have this problem. For example <Value><![CDATA[rewr rew;qwr ewqr;q q;iammydel2surname iammydel2name;Dummy;demo demo;Deleted Deleted;123 321;123 321;Deleted Deleted;foo foo foo bar bar bar bar;Βα]]></Value> Even a single(greek in my case) character will be enough,so the td won't grow(and hide the other td's).

    - IE 7 Cascade opening at Vista Startup Since the last service pack updat for Vista, IE7 has launched at startup 3 times with a cascading loop. This issue did not occur prior service pack. This action occurs both on my laptop and desktop - so I believe that rules out hardware issue. IE7 will cascade load multiple browsers. They cannot be manually closed, due to the popup of the next window timed between 15 and 30 seconds startup. It consumes the processor speed and basically halts any action at the desktop. Via the start up manager, the entire group must be selected and end tasked. If you allow IE to restart after that, the cascade continues. Cancel the auto-restart and then IE7 may be resumed as normal. Any suggestion? Reload IE7 on both systems? Sound like an internal issue? Thank you~ Tag: ICON changed to default Tag: 157837

    - Opening non-HTML content in IE7 Hi there. I'm running Windows XP SP2 with IE7. When I left-click on links to non-HTML files in IE, there are several possible outcomes: 1) The file opens in the browser (e.g. JPEGs) 2) The file opens in a browser plugin (e.g. PDFs) 3) The file opens with its default associated program, outside of the browser (e.g. MP3s open with Winamp) 4) A dialog box pops up asking if I want to save or open the file (e.g. RAR archives.) Ideally I would like all but a few file types to result in the fourth option. (I've disabled the Adobe Reader add-on, with the result that PDFs now open in Adobe Reader itself, which is not what I want.) Is there an easy way of changing the settings? Thanks in advance!

    - IE7 visually looks bad in classic mode. Dear Microsoft, I use Internet Explorer exclusively on 3 machines, 2 Vista 1 XP, and suggest it to all my family and friends. Windows XP and Vista have different themes, I prefer Windows Classic, everything Micrsoft touches looks worse and worse in classic mode, please keep this in mind and consider making it look better in classic mode. The toolbar back and forward buttons do not suit classic mode, as well as several other aspects. Please hire someone who knows how to make it look better in classic mode. If you aren't going to make things look half decent in classic mode you may as well remove it, and that might help you to relise how many people still use classic mode.

    - IE 7 Compared to 6 Here is some constructive criticism. Go back to the IE 6 interface. With the 7 interface it seems like I cannot customize it at all. The stop and refresh buttons are obscure far to the right of the address bar. The tool bar with the home print page and tools buttons canot be moved and has to share space with the tabed web pages. It feels very clunky and half baked. I hope IE 8, when it comes out, is much better. NOTE I do love the search bar and the tabbed browsing, this more than makes up for it. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

I am not the only person this happens to. somebody fix IE! come on! we have had 64-bit provisions in compilers since VC++ 6.0 and 64-bit filesystem provisions for how long? and why aren't we using it? I hope the developers have heard of __int64 and LONG_INTEGER and that we are not still using fopen() fwrite() from stdio.h and the like. We have Win32 functions and they are simple to use. I had hoped IE7 wouldn't have this kind of limitation. please don't put a limitation like this into IE8. thanks in advance. Jim Michaels Tag: ICON changed to default Tag: 157792

    - All Favorites Auto-Expanded Until this is fixed, I have to essentially rely on Firefox, which I'd rather not be using. It is really frustrating adding favorites to IE7, when every favorite is automatically expanded. This means that when I use some folders that have a number of subdirectories, I have to go through them all to get to the directory I want; and since I can't put specific Icons on the directories, it's hard to tell when I've finally scrolled back to the original level. I've grown used to using a folder called "00-For_Temporary_Adding", and then using a shortcut to bring me to the Favorites folder using Explorer, and I then organize things into the directory I want. It's annoying and shouldn't be necessary, but it's easier than doing it within the Add Favorites window in IE7. There should be a way we could use the IE6 method, so that we don't hold back getting IE7 but instead have to use Firefox to be able to add favorites and use Tabs. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Removal of IE Hi Guys. I'm sure this is very straightforward so I apologise for asking stupid questions. I have a Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Basic. I have ben trying to install McAfee Security. The McAfee technical help people tell me that there is a problem with my IE (they did not expand on the nature of this problem). they did say that I needed to contact Microsoft and get IE removed from my system and reinstalled. I guess I could go for a backup and start to reinstall the whole system but I was hoping for a less drastic solution. Apart from the obvious 'phone Microsoft' can anyone help out or point me in the direction of a suitable help article. Also, I am assuming I can download a new version of IE before I uninstall the old one. Thanks. -- Richard Tag: ICON changed to default Tag: 157734

    - Sign In Problem with Internet Explorer For the past few month's, when I open my computer in the AM, when I click on internetexplorer, a pop-up appears and asks me to Sign In. Where did this come from? Some days, I can't get into internetexplorer without either walking away from the computer for awhile or staying there and continually try to get into internetexplorer. Can you explain why all of a sudden, after years of connecting with internetexplorer I now get this Sign In feature?? I would appreciate hearing from you.

    - Disappearing field of links, reappearing Windows Live Toolbar Hi, When I opt for displaying the field of links among the tool bars in IE, by right clicking and choosing "links", this works ONLY during the current session, as does the similar setting of not displaying Windows Live Toolbar. Thus when I begin a new session, these settings have disappeared and Windows Live Toolbar is shown again, and the field of links is not... Is there any way to save and keep such settings as described from session to session? Sincerely Freddy Tag: ICON changed to default Tag: 157707

Hi,

I have a stange problem in IE7.0, if I create shortcut of any webpage on my
desktop and change the icon through the property>change ICON. I am able to
change the icon, but if I open the link then the icon changes to the default
icon.
like If I create a shortcut of www.google.com on my desktop, the google
icons comes up and I am able to change the icon, but If I open that shortcut
in IE7, it again changes to default.
Any Ideas?
I am using XP sp2, with IE7.
many thanks in advance.

Regards,
Anuj

Hi,
Try right-clicking the shortcut> Properties> General, make it Read-only.

Hope this helps,

This solve my problem, but is it a bug of IE7 or a new feature?
