Weblogic

Okay...I downloaded Internet Explorer 7.0 and now I have this huge toolbar at the top of my browser. The address bar stretches more then halfway across followed by a google search window with the normal tools (favorites, home, print, tools ect) below. I want to get rid of the google search, make my address bar about a third of it's size and move the tool buttons all on one level. I have searched and searched in the help(less) window and online but cannot find a way to display more of the stuff I want to view and less of the crap at the top. Ideas? Help?

if you right click on the toolbar and unlock it you can then click and drag the components to different areas of the toolbar. Also there will be list of toobars with checkmarks next to them. Uncheck the ones you dont want to see. Google search bar and other toolbars as such can be removed via the add/remove programs in the control panel on windows xp or programs and features area on windows vista. also located in the control panel. hope this helps. if not post back and i will try to help some more.

Good Luck

nice to see you again dean'o

Sorry Rusty but Bill G seems to rule.
Have used IE 7.0 for half a year w/o any problems.

okay...got the tool bars unlocked....figured that out before. But still can't click on things and move them like you used to be able to do on IE 6. Can't reduce the size of the address window. Also, no Google toolbar program is on my control panel so I still have that thing taking up space. Oh, forgot to tell you that I am using XP. Haven't heard anything good about Vista and besides, my computer is 9 years old and I would have to buy a new one (upgrades would be too costly). Old Pentium II with a 450 mghz processor and 500+ megs of rham... was state of the art when I bought it...had a huge (LOL) 16 gig hard drive! Have upgraded that to 100 gigs.

I still like Win3.2 better then anything. LOL You know how ex-drunks like me love change. Still have an old Packard Bell with a 75 mghz processor, Pentium I and a 2 gig hard drive that we added.

Remember zip drives? got one. LOL got a bunch of floppies for a zip drive too. will probably be worth as much as 78 rpm records soon.

Guess I'll just have to use the full screen tool and be happy with that. Burns my buns when you pay for larger monitors and Microslop bungs them up with un-needed toolbars and garbage. I bet Bill G. is getting a nice chunk of change from Google for making it the default search engine on IE 7.

did i hear the word Zip? lol

dean'o... another sugestion...

use Firefox... navigate to View... unclick Bookmark.. and Wah-La... as clean and simple as it gets...

sorry bank'y... JMO

if i run (just to identify, not to compare... lol) IE... then run a antispy program...

IE always shows up something... Firefox... nada...

another suggestion dean'o.... unload IE7, go back to IE6... as we say atround the rooms... keep it simple!

bank, please dont run the tag line... stupid... rotfl

IE 7.0 I used for a brief time. And let me tell ya it was a brief time. The only thing that I liked was to delete all of my things at times like password savors and stuff like on titles because I can get a whole crap load of them.

Firefox rules IMO

As far as Vista, I still have Windows Vista Business but I took it out pretty quick also along with the Mircosoft 7

IE 6 which I don't use but have now and Firefox are my friends

Agreeing with you totally Vic and include Thuderbird for the email. It rocks!
