Add/Remove programs in the control panel i think... I'm not sure if it works though. I haven't downloaded it.

Re: Help! Ive just downloaded IE 7, Its terrible!

Thanks guys
Ive been told I may be able to fix the buttons thing with this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser]
"ITBar7Position"=dword:00000001

How do I put it where it needs to go in order to make it look a bit better?
Thanks!

Some people just don't like change.

I'm dreading my parents complaining to, but it'll have to grow on them as i won't let them use IE6 again.

Open Notepad, copy/paste it in, save as - make sure All Files is selected, then give it the extension .reg (e.g. IE7.reg) then save it and double click, import when prompted.

Re: Help! Ive just downloaded IE 7, Its terrible!

I too hated IE7's layout but it grew on me over time, the only reason and I mean the only reason I've removed it and gone Firefox was it taking 100% cpu on svchost.exe

Re: Help! Ive just downloaded IE 7, Its terrible!

Thanks everyone! Ive reverted back to IE 6, I shall not upgrade until someone releases a classic skin for IE 7. Its terribly laid out and really has not been thought out well.
Thanks guys and Gals!
