[wdvltalk] [OT]add on about add-ons (was IE7 bad, IE6 good)
My daughter thanks you all for helpful advice but has now another problem that is unresolved; it involves both add-ons and activeX.Here is her message: okay, I've decided to keep ie7 because it's going to be the standard soon I can't solve the problem of add-ons being disabled. The help says just restart ie but that doesn't work. When I right click the ie icon and look at properties add-ons are NOT disabled. When I look at the add on manager list all the add ons say 'enabled'. But in explorer itself under tools the add on manager bit is greyed out. The add ons listed under toolbars- Onspeed and the Yahoo Toolbar are also greyed out. I can't get to use the forums because active x is disabled. And I've used up my two free help requests with microsoft. Grrr. I need more help! How does she get round this? TIA Joseph From: "Joseph Harris" Thank you Cheryl. As always your replies are right on the button... I found the site - http://www.snapfiles.com/get/ie7menutoptweak.html I'll pass it along and thank you on her behalf in advance. Joseph From: "Cheryl D Wise" Favorites are still there, use the star on the left, that opens the favorites, history, etc. She would probably feel more at home with her menus back. Tools | Menu bar. From both a security and a make life easier for web designer point of view staying with IE 7 and getting over the (really it is) minor adjustments would be best since right now you can rollback but MS is trying to get IE 6 into the history bucket as quickly as possible. There is a site for customizing IE 7 that I sadly did not bookmark that has ways to move the menus back the way they used to be as well without using a registry key. If you can't find it I'll ask where it was posted before.

Ah! regrets, regrets. It appears not have anything akin to the old favourites' saving system, nor an inuitive interface. How, she exclaims, how do I return to that which was before? I know there has been some discussion on the matter, and would welcome advice that I can pass on. In the matter of computers she is complexity-intolerant, so no Matt, linux is not her answer [not indeed is a Mac]. All advice and commiserations welcomed. . The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM .

First part of enabling is to click on the "Enable or disable Add-ons" choice. This does the enabling. A reboot is reuired then the "Manage add-ons" selection works. This seems counterintuitive but much of t he security enhancements you see as an end user in Vista (and IE7 as designed for Vista) have a certain counterintuitive element about them. drew The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

Thanks Drew.I'm not sure where this should happen ;-) but if we can't find it, like the Gov. of California, I'll be back.
