When I installed (Windows) Internet Explorer 7, it naturally took over the shortcuts i had for IE6; so no need to create any new ones. ----- Original Message ----- From: Darragh To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, February 19, 2007 1:35 PM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: Internet Explorer 7, question Hello, When internet explorer, what do you see in the file menu? Is there anything there about tabs? If so, you have internet explorer 7. It's now called windows internet explorer so that is another way of distinguishing it. In relation to your firewall, If your new firewall supports the WMI, Windows Management Interface, XP will automagically turn off it's firewall as it understands that another, more powerful alternative has been installed. It shouldn't really matter though if you turn it off or not. I'd perhaps suggest that you just leave it on and let the software take care of it all. -------- Original Message -------- > From: eoconnor@xxxxxxx > Sent: 19 February 2007 13:29 > To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [vicsireland] Internet Explorer 7, question > > Hi folks, > > I installed IE7 last night. > > While doing so, (as expected,) , I had a number of warnings from Spybot > and Spyware Guard,relating to registery and other changes.
