Registry Mod to move toolbar
by anonymust - 12/1/06 8:30 PM In reply to: IE7's willingness to move toolbars by unclesquaresI think this will do exactly what you want:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser]
"ITBar7Position"=dword:00000001
IE 7
by jppeel - 11/1/06 7:29 AM In reply to: Perplexed by IE7's Navigation Controls by tonyny77At least you found the "stop" and "refresh" buttons. I'm still looking for them.
HUH?!?!
by BlazeEagle - 11/5/06 11:57 PM In reply to: IE 7 by jppeelWhat the HECK! They're right beside the right hand side of the address bar.
''Stop'' is the big red ''X'', ''refresh/reload'' is the two green arrows RIGHT beside the red ''X''.

refresh button
by haidaklan - 11/1/06 8:09 AM In reply to: Perplexed by IE7's Navigation Controls by tonyny77heck I can't even find the refresh button where the heck is it???
It's on the right side of the address bar [more]...
by BlazeEagle - 11/2/06 12:00 AM In reply to: refresh button by haidaklanIt's right beside the red "X". It's the button with the two green arrows on it.
Did you somehow accidentally rearrange the buttons? I'm not casting blame at all here, so please don't take my question the wrong way.
No Problem!
by Jason83 - 11/1/06 9:02 AM In reply to: Perplexed by IE7's Navigation Controls by tonyny77I see no issue with it myself. Anyway, back and forward are related to the address bar, so the address bar follows them. Stop and refresh are functions performed on the current page/ address in the bar, so are extra, thus go at the end. Think of stop as the handbrake and refresh as restarting the car after a stall. The address bar readout is the little numbers on the gear map. Either way, I never use them, except occasionally the forward button. Here is the better more efficient method:
Back - Backspace key
Stop - Esc key
Refresh - F5 key to refresh locally cached web page, or CTRL F5 to force the page to download from the server again.
Hope you find this in some way helpful.
How do you type in a web site address then?[more]
by BlazeEagle - 11/2/06 12:07 AM In reply to: No Problem! by Jason83Do you mean you never have to type or "cut&paste" a address into the address bar?
Doesn't matter to me...
by vis-vobiscum-sit - 11/1/06 6:28 PM In reply to: Perplexed by IE7's Navigation Controls by tonyny77I use Alt + arrows for forward and back anyway. I've tried those mouse gestures that some other browsers have, but they've always seem to jump around when I don't want them to. I'm probably going to wait a while before installing IE7 myself so that all the junk from the Firefox/Opera fanboys can clear out and I can get some real facts.
I feel the same
by natan_ziv - 11/1/06 7:42 PM In reply to: Perplexed by IE7's Navigation Controls by tonyny77I guess that I'll get used to it over time. In the mean time it really bothers me.
The name "microsoft" should be enough explanation...
by gclamb - 11/8/06 7:25 AM In reply to: Perplexed by IE7's Navigation Controls by tonyny77It's business as usual for them! every "New" version they release just seems to be the same system with all the functions moved (read: "hidden")
They even said it themselves when they release (I think it was) Win2k... "New ways of doing old things"
we spent a week just figuring out where functions were hidden on our new servers! Once I knew where everything was hidden, it was just like the old system...
Really it's brilliant marketing, they cram these new versions down our throats, then sell certification classes & tests ($100+ to take a test? that's just nuts!)
It keeps taking focus...

My biggest gripe is that the page jerks down 'in chunks' when I use the scroll wheel on my mouse so I have to drag it manually. However, in a close second is the fact that it keeps taking focus while I'm using other programs. It happens two sometimes three times a day where no matter what program I'm using IE7 will simply jump to the front if it's running in the background. I'm guessing it's a compatibility issue (it refused to install until I temporarily disabled SpySweeper), but it's still annoying when I'm suddenly typing in the address bar instead of Word, something that never happened with IE6.
Now, if only that made me feel better about it.

Can you change the scrolling settings for your mouse
by Steven Haninger - 10/21/06 10:14 AM In reply to: It keeps taking focus... by John.Wilkinson
in the control panel? My MS optical was set to 3 lines per click and reducing to 2 or 1 improves this for IE. It could be too slow for other apps. FF has no problem set to 3, however. Seems to be a known issue with IE7.
That's what bugs me...

It doesn't matter if I have it set to 1 line per scroll or 3 lines per scroll...for each line it is supposed to go down it pauses, jerks down one line, then repeats until it gets to the correct position, and then it goes down a few lines extra for same measure.
This happens with the scroll wheels on my Logitech mice, but not the scroll wheels on my Logitech keyboards. However, if I uninstall the Logitech software and connect old 'generic' ball PS/2 mice it usually works like it should.
If I could use my new (from the past 3 years) mice with the new browser I'd be much happier using it to connect to Windows Update. (Firefox would still remain my primary.)

(NT) I get that with the new forum pages in IE-6.
