I'm using IE7, and have locked my toolbars. The first window that I open has
the links bar in a separate line, which is how I want it. However, when I
open a new tab, the Links Bar gets moved to the extreme right of the menu
bar, with only the word "Links >>" visible. It still says that the toolbars
are locked. How can I stop this behavior, and have the new tab with the same
toolbars as the original window? TIA.

Hi Bearspa,

Have you installed the Google Toolbar?

'Toolbar does not customize' is a well known 'feature' of the Google
Toolbar.

Download the registry tweak here

No, I don't. I have Roboform, and I just downloaded Congoo Netpass to try,
butthis problem preceded the download.

1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode?

To start IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons; or

add-ons).

Now this is really strange. I followed your 1st suggestion, and ran IE7 in
No Add-ons mode, and that seemed to take care of the problem. On reading the
additional information in the link you provided, I thought the problem was
Roboform, as it was one of the add-ons listed.

Before I started taking each add-on off as the article suggested, I closed
IE, and reopened it (with add-ons), and now, the links work just fine in the
additional tabs! What seems to have been affected is the Adobe PDF add-on,
which shows up in the first tab, but not in the subsequent tabs. When I
right-click on the status bar, it is checked when I'm on the 1st tab, but
unchecked on subsequent tabs. I even rebooted, and this behavior persists.

Strage, huh? Altho' it does solve my problem, as I don't think I've ever
used it, and will probably just remove it.

So, thanks for your help--problem effectively solved, altho' in mysterious
ways!

By the way, the moniker is because our function in life is to be the proud
parents of Bear, our miniature poodle!

Thanks.

What version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (I assume) is installed (e.g.,
v.7.0.6)?

I'm going to remove it from IE---don't know how it got there in the first
place.

It /should/ be v7.0.9!

If you uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader v7, you'll most likely need a PDF
reader at some point (i.e., if you do your taxes online). Choices include:

Adobe Acrobat Reader v8 (+100MB)
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloa...ows&product=10

Foxit Reader (1MB)
