Hi Flor,
the thing is, that my desktop icon and start menu still report IE6, but
not Windows Intternet Explorer, or IE7. .
Could this really be IE7, without having been renamed?
The only place I did find IE7 was in the add remove programs, along with
IE6.
So I'm left wondering if the installation was successful. As Darragh
suggests, once I use it, it will be easy enough to verify.

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.

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.
