IE7 super surfin (no way)

[Guest]

I just uninstalled IE7 for the third time on my home PCs. With IE6 you can
adjust settings so when you open a new window it will be in a full screen
mode. IE7 opens in a small window so you have to eather expand it or use
such a high resoultion on your monitor that you have to use a magnifer to see
the page. I use a 5 button mouse which I program the buttons differantly.
The right click button I change to the close function (for new windows that
open instead of moving all the way up to the X to shut it down) the wheel
button is programed to the right click mode and the thumb button is set to
(back). I hardly move my arm or wrist to surf. With IE 6 I can fly through
the web and see everything on a full page not a new little box and surf way
faster than most. IE7 is ok if you know exactly where you want to go on the
web or if you are researching something and need multiple windows in front of
you. Hmmm I can do this with IE6 just click the big e again. Microsoft said
it heard and listened -----but to who???????????
So many people were more conserned with security issues than tabbed browsing
that's why they swithced to the other browsers. No matter what I try in
changing settings or tweaking Ie7 it is slow comparied IE6. I cant find
anything form Microsoft to see about other tweaks or settings that would make
it run more like IE6. You can still use tweaks to get IE7 surfing faster
like the Scream IE reg tweak. But the functions of IE7 slow you down. If
you never tryed a 5 button mouse whats up???? You still doing things the old
fashion slow way. I am using an 5 button Intellimouse Exployer 2.0 and you
can program it to do anything.

You might consider posting to one of the Internet Explorer newsgroups. IE7
is built into Vista and IE6 is not an option.

I have IE7 on multiple XP machines, and on Vista. I do not see this
behavior. It always remembers it's last position and size, just like all
Windows apps.
