I was running Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 without problems, and have been automatically updated to the full release IE7. My problem (and many others on the web), is this: the customize your settings will not save, so my home page does not automatically load. I have been able to bypass the customize settings screen by altering Regedit "ShowOnce, (change to value 1). This removes the screen, but instead it loads the automatically dowload IE7 instead. How can this be overcome? My operating system is XP SP2. I was running Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3 without problems, and have been automatically updated to the full release IE7.

I wrote a review of Internet Explorer 7 last month and it is certainly now on a more level playing field with Firefox 2 with regard to features.

I've never noticed that before. I'm surprised Microsoft haven't made this feature more prominent in the UI before. It's a definite plus point for any browser and is one of the reasons I use Firefox. I wonder if other people are unaware of this feature? It could be easy to miss, or maybe it's just me! When you first install Firefox the bookmarks toolbar is switched on by default with a couple of Mozilla links preset in the toolbar. IE could have adopted the same stance and switched on the Links toolbar automatically with a couple of preset Microsoft links. Thanks for the tip about the Links bar in Internet Explorer.

IE has had this for years, right click in an open area in the tab row, and choose "links". You can add favorites in the links folder of the favorites center. If you don't like to placement of the bar default, you can go to this page to fix it: http://enhanceie.com/ie/tweaks.asp If crashing is really a problem, then try running IE with no add-ons. And remove add-ons you have installed that you are not using. There were major problems with older versions of the google toolbar and google desktop. If you use those, update to the newest versions. “I would also liked to have seen a favourites toolbar like there is in Firefox.”
