The design of internet explore is the worst user experience I have ever
encountered. Can I go back to using 6 or do I need to return my computer?
Because I refuse to use 7.0 unless I can change the design so it cal look
more like 6. Who puts the refresh buttons where they are? You don’t go take
a perfectly good interface and change it or if you do let people decide how
they want it to look.

If your computer came with Windows Vista, you can't remove IE 7.

If you upgraded IE 6 to IE 7, follow these directions *carefully* to
return to IE 6:

Bear in mind that there is no law that says you have to use IE 7. There
are other browsers.

A bit of unsolicited advice: Lots of people have different ideas about
how software should look. I advise you to adopt a more open mind.

You cannot use IE6 with Vista. There are numerous 3rd party addons to vastly
improve the user interface for IE7. I personally use Avant. Maxthon is also
very popular. These and many others can be found on this Microsoft site:

I whole-heartedly agree - I've just come here to ask how to replace it with
IE6 in WindowsXP. I find the interface of IE7 so depressing that I've tried
other browsers (Firefox, Opera), but they are not fully compatible with all
the sites I regularly use.

It's all very well saying 'It's a matter of taste', but IE7 is not only
awkwardly set out, it's also SO INFLEXIBLE, it's as if Microsoft have gone
technologically retro :-o

I shall have a go with Avant etc as advised, but I do hope that MS will
upgrade IE7 in the very near future.

Thank you, Frank. I get in such a tiz at times, I've had a fiddle with the
toolbars and found they are not quite as bad as they seemed when I first
installed it, but there's still lots of mending to do ;) I'm going to
persevere with IE7 for the time being, it will be easier knowing I can revert
at any time to IE6.

Thanks again :)
