Internet Explorer in Vista Home Premium

Hello,
I recently purchased a new notebook computer that came with ms windows home
premium edition installed on it. I had already been using IE 7 that was
installed on a 'legal' computer with windows xp home edition installed on it.
My biggest complaint with IE 7 is that you are SO limited as to what you can
do to customize the browser to make it more personable for each one's own
taste. In my case...I would much rather see the favorites stars, ( both the
single star and the double stars ) be on the right side of the toolbar,
instead of the left side as they are now. If I could get that done somehow,
I'd be a very happy IE 7 user. Thanks for any suggestions.

I know of no browser that will allow you to do that.

Thanks for the reply, unless I'm mistaken..in the previous version of the
internet explorer browser ( IE6 ) the favorite star was already on the right
hand side of the toolbar. For your information..it's that way also in the
firefox browser, which seems to be a lot more customizable than IE7.

You are right about that in IE6. But IE 7 is good once you get around in it.
Have you looked in the"Tools" section on the far right hand top side? There
is a "menu bar" with file, edit, etc,whichif you click on becomes part of IE7
window an another list of toolbars as well, like for putting favs down the
left hand side as it was in IE6.
The only fault that I can find with it is that you can't check your mail
from it, like you could in IE6; remember open up Outlook Express?

Hello Mick,
Thanks SO much for the quick reply, I'm aware of the menu bar in IE7, I
normally keep it hidden because it gives me more viewing space on the
computer screen. If I need to use it though, all I have to do is press the
'Alt' key on my keyboard, and it appears. As far as the favorites list on the
left-hand side of the page, normally when you click on the favorites 'star'
the favorites list automatically appears, then when you click on one it
dissappears automatically. By the way..I work in a retail type of job, and I
waited on a couple yesterday from 'down under'.
Thanks

Right click on bar which contains favourite star and tabs etc.
Choose "customise commands bar"
choose "Add or remove commands"
add "read mail" to current toolbar buttons.

When I did that a button appeared that takes me directly into windows mail.
 
WRONG!

Us Aussies DO travel the world a fair bit; and we have our own
slang(lingo)!!!!
In IE6, we also had the history button across the top to click on; that is
hidden in the toolbar options under tools.
The one good advantage about IE7 is that can close a lot, and, as you say,
have more room for the NET
Have a great day.

You can't even admit when you are in error, can you Murphy?

I quote from your post:

"The only fault that I can find with it is that you can't check your mail

I.E. 7 is most CERTAINLY able to open Windows Mail. YOU just don't know how
to do it as you are like that silly blonde in "Clueless".

Or, are you stupidly trying to open Outlook Express in Vista using I.E.7?
Seems like something you would try Murphy.
