Disappointed by Toolbars in IE 7

Hey. Finding it really hard to get IE 7 to look and act how i want.
(STANDARD TOOLBARS IN PARTICULAR).
IE 6 allowed me to adjust size location, number of buttons and lines where
buttons were placed etc. very well.
(NOT TALKING ABOUT DISABLING TABS)
Understand that new layout has something to do with compatability W3C ?
something or other but can't understand why users have been given no option
to decide for themselves.

Has anyone managed to get the standard toolbars to move or do I have to go
back to IE6??

The IE 7 interface is certainly less configurable than the IE 6
interface. I do not know why. (Nobody in this group works for or speaks
for Microsoft.)

If moving around toolbars is more important to you than significantly
improved security, I really have nothing more to say to you.

Except this: Don't go back to an insecure browser (IE 6). Better to use
the current release of a different browser (Opera, Firefox, Safari, etc.)

Hi,

Google Toolbar layout hijack. Download the registry fix here -

Or download the Google Toolbar v5 beta from toolbar.google.com

Regards.

I agree with you. I like absolutely NOTHING about IE7. Especially what you
mentioned in your post. I did go back to IE6 and have been happy ever since.
Hopefully they will bring back the features of IE6. If not, I will swith to a
different browser all together.

If you don't like IE7, don't use it.
But whining about it won't help.

By moving the menu bar back to the top (google on how to do it) and
downloading the quero toolbar (www.quero.at) you can make IE7 more versatile
and user friendly than IE6 and still have tabbed browsing. I've been using
it for 6 trouble-free months and would never go back to IE6 or bare IE7.
And BTW, most pages load in a few seconds -- most almost instantaneously
(got lotsa ram and a fast dual processor).

I also have tried Opera, FF, Maxthon, Avant and several others and have
always returned to my IE7/Quero configuration. Works great for me. YMMV.
Easy to uninstall if you don't like it.
