Hey, I installed IE7 on one of my many systems, and I dont like the look of it. Sort of like when XP came out and I upgraded from Win 2000 Pro...But fortunately they had a Classic View to select to, to get the Win 2000 Pro look to XP.

Upon the basic install of IE7, you dont have your Menu Bar.... Big Problem since I use it A LOT, so I found a way to get it back, by selecting to get the MENU Bar....

But now I have my URL Address above my Menu Bar, which is opposite of IE6, and man its an eye sore. Reminds me of the old Dodge Diplomat Cars of the 1980's that had their indicator lights dead CENTER above the head lights, while all other cars had them to the side or below the headlights.

I tried to SHUFFLE it around like MS Office will allow for you to do with word or excels layout...But they are all locked into POSITION and I cant find a way to unlock and move it to the look of IE6 ..... Man what a PAIN!!!!!!

Anyone know if maybe there is a lock that I an failing to find to get the URL Address Bar to be below the Menu Bar or if this is just the new way that we are stuck with if we want to continue with IE as a browser???   Thanks!! [smiley=angry.gif]FireFox !

Just kidding but it's a good alternative...

If you google IE7 problems/questions there are a million hits out there that say the same.

It wasn't ready for release and they shouldn't have done so.

A Decent Site

where they argue/discuss the pros and cons might be of some help.Personally...I like the new IE7...and for those of you who don't...you can always GO to the "Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and remove it.

You may not be able to permanently get the Menu bar where you want it and if you don't like where it is, now, you can always use the hotkey "Alt" on your keyboard to turn it on and off while you are browsing...nice feature...in my humble opinion.

I like the way they have included tabbed browsing and the ability to choose your own search providers...as well as being able to view multiple web pages at once...nice touch.


Best of luck!Gotta admit I like the new IE7. The tabbed pages save me tons of navigation.

Seems to me, what you want is IE6. Why change if it makes you happy?
