You can download IE7 from M$ or a lot of places, Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13. I downloaded IE7.0 and burnt it to a CD for future installs. The cool thing about IE7.0 is the icons that show in your Favourites after you use them. Its a quick reference rather than reading each link. The only thing I don't like about it is the Address bar is at the top when previous versions of IE have all been at the bottom. As for the tabs IE6.0 onwards has tabs, just don't use them if you don't like them. I like them for the fact that WinXP stacks apps up vertically in the taskbar, that something I hate about WinXP. With the tabs you can have as many sites open as you want too without increasing the number of apps in the taskbar. After you install IE7.0 and you find you don't like it. Just goto Control Panel - Add/Remove and uninstall IE7.0 and that will put back IE6.0 for you. Plus I use the Yahoo toolbar so I can make my own button for regular sites, I could do that with IE6.0 as well.

Just uncheck enable Tabbed Browsing.

"How do I upgrade to a tabbed browser without the tabs" is completely typical of your stupid questions. Next you'll be asking for help in finding a black laptop that isn't black. Why don't you just stick to using the wretched thing and leave its internals alone ? On Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at 11:09 am, Mike Brown wrote: >I have Internet Explorer 6 on my Windows XP computer.

If you fancy trying a different browser that are FireFox and Opera they are on FileHippo, search. I would suggest you save FileHippo as a Favorite as these are loads of good free apps on there. CCleaner, Defraggler, Recuva etc The only slight advantage of FireFox is that it asks if you want to copy all your IE Favorites over to FireFox. If you want the M$ link then its Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP As I've said before once you download IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu its a Windows Cabinet file so you can just right-click and use WinZip to extract it to a folder of the same name. Now Setup.exe isn't in the front folder its in a sub folder so you can make an Autorun.inf showing the location then burn the folder to a CD. You can use it anytime to reinstall or install after a rebuild without downloading again.

It is one of the most convenient ways of stcking a lot of open websites, and it is included almost everywhere [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Internet Explorer 7 Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 1:11 pm Posted by Keith Stanier (1655 messages posted) Thanks for the link Steve I've found it now.
