Any info will be appriciated.
LOL I was just fooling around with my IE and found that if you right click on the toolbar and go to “customize” you will find a box labeled “Show Stop and Refresh Buttons Before Address Bar” you get what you originally wanted.
On my desktop at home I am still running Windows ME!
The correct upgrade path from Vista is to OS X.
I am going to try to Upgrade my Gateway Laptop from Vista to 7 after I make my kids pay for a new keyboard that they screwed up.
I just did this very thing last weekend. 7 is faster, prettier, and less annoying (no pop-up dialogs every time you want to change a setting).
I did have a problem with the install DVD, where it would bomb out after going 7/8 of the way through, with a “file corrupted or missing” error. I simply copied the whole install DVD disk to another partition on my computer, ran the install from there, and it worked fine.
You are a braver man than I am! :-)

I am running XP on my desktop. Got a low-end laptop a year and a half ago to take on the road; it was running Vista and I had no end of troubles trying to maintain a wireless connection. Upgraded the laptop to Vista and it works perfectly. Still using XP on the desktop and will keep it ‘till it dies.
WOW !
If you are happy with Vista that's an argument to stay with it, of course
I long been curious about the mostly positive views of Linux here on FR.
Given that many of the people behind free software such Richard Stallman are leftists and/or atheists, how do you personally reconcile their politics with the operating system itself?
I’m aware that people like Larry Wall (a Christian) and Eric Raymond (a supporter of gun rights) are exceptions to the broad brush of liberalism pervasive in Linux and free software.
Not one single crash since October 22.
I’m in the software industry and get to work with a variety of Operating Systems. Ubuntu is my favorite, but Microsoft apps are standard and Open Office doesn’t meet my needs. Your mileage may vary.
We have three home machines. One is X64 and runs dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows 7. I upgraded the other two from Xp to Windows 7.
If your machine runs XP, it ought to be able to run Win 7. For my purposes, Windows 7 is the best OS release by Microsoft since Windows 95. I have not had a single problem with Windows 7, at work or home. It’s slick, intuitive, and forgiving.
Must be a newer version of IE. I switched to firefox years ago and never install the updates for IE.
Answer: So you can spend lots of time looking for things that have moved and learning new names for things.
IE 7 is installed on my machine. I can’t seem to do what you mentioned. It’s not that important to me anyway. I switched to firefox ages ago. I have even been playing around with google chrome, which isn’t bad.
I have W7 and it came with IE8. I never use it either. I have been using FF for years.
Of course, this begs the question: Why complain about it?
I don't worry about their politics. Don't have to as I don't give them any money.
With MS, every OS sold contributes to their leftist politics as you are (directly or indirectly) financing them. Same thing with Apple.
I’m interested in hearing what DRM stuff made the final version of 7.
Wow, ShadowAce, that's the best political argument I've seen for using Linux, and I'm amazed it didn't occur to me long ago. Microsoft and Apple take my money and fund leftist causes. Who bloody cares if Linux is left or right -- they don't take any of my money. *D-UH*!!!
Or one could pirate a copy of the MS or Apple OS, but I didn't say that... besides, the pirates are probably all leftists too...
