OK, maybe I'm blind, but I don't see the option to turn on tab recovery. Does it only work if IE8 crashes? I want to close IE8 with a bunch of open tabs and have them all restored when it re-opens. Also no enhancements for when tabs are created or when they are re-used.
So looks like we still need IE7Pro. And the reg hack to put the menu bar at the top no longer works. I even tried both value names: "ITBar7Position"=dword:00000001 "ITBar8Position"=dword:00000001 without any change. How is it that these features get removed - it takes effort to remove a feature. And the Links bar has been renamed to Favorites bar and now it is wedded to the "Add to favorites" button. Grrr.... I want my Links bar separate from any buttons.

But I "only' have 10-20 tabs open at any given time. My tab recovery support is via IE7Pro. Which brings up my next batch of questions, what is the recommended process for IE7Pro users to move to IE8? Remove IE7Pro before upgrading? Is tab recovery built-in to IE8? I'll go google those things now...

IE7 eats waaay more memory and cant handle it. I'm running current versions, side-by-side, aaand I have 30+ extensions loaded into FF (while no add-ons with IE7). My most recently necessity has been to disabled Flash in IE7 because I can make it crash repeatedly when logged into Facebook. I can make this happen at work with XP and at home on Vista. Since there is very little tab-recovery support in IE7, it is currently at the bottom of my annoyances bin. I cant work with it for any information I need to retain. It simply cant be trusted. -- ME2 On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 2:24 PM, Steven Peck <sep...@gmail.com> wrote: What kind of weird sites are you people going to? I have zero issues with IE7 standard. I use a combination of FF and IE7 on a variety of different boxes. I find on systems I have both installed, I tend to use IE7 because no matter what the FF folks tell you, overtime FF eats memory and kills your systems performance. (oh yes, they fixed the memory issue this time, for real this time, really it's not as bad as it used to be, honest). The FF people sound like Comcast support personal. I plan on switching over to IE8 at home as soon as is practical (whenever the download sites stop blowing up :) Steven On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 10:52 AM, Michael Ross <mr...@itwif.com> wrote: > Think aboot what?
