Re: IE7 beta 2

For those who want to try it without installing IE7Beta can run "stand alone"

1. Download and install WinRAR
2. Right-click on "IE7B2P-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe" and choose "Extract to "IE7B2P-WindowsXP-x86-enu""
3. Find and delete "shdocvw.dll"
4. Make a new text file (iexplore.exe.local) and call it "iexplore.exe.local" (make it inside the folder that iexplore.exe is in)
5. Run iexplore.exe and it should work!

Not tried it with the latest build tho as so far it's way better then IE6. (Ok, that's not so hard to do...)

Hi Blobsie,

The Back button works for me, but it's a bit different then that of IE6.

As for uninstalling IE7, in software or add/remove programs (depends on the language version) in the "control panel" check "show updates". Previous builds then showed up under "windows XP Software updates" but the build released this month should be visible without the show updates. I noticed that the MS download pages instructs to remove the previous builds before installing the new one (by using the add/remove programs)

Still sticking with Opera 9.0 here

Did you get the free key they offered a while back ? Not sure what the reason was but I should still have it..

Never liked Opera on the PC (Got Firefox cause all the extensions available) but love it on my Nokia 7710.

Hows Opera 9 compared to FireFox1.5 ?
