Remove IE8 then Install IE7
It won' let me remove IE 7.
It says it can't Remove the default browser.

Then you can uninstall IE8 then install IE7 and make that your default broswer.
Hope that helps :)

Sorry bud.
(Relatively) IE7 is pure crap to IE8.
I'm sorry, I know I should probably respect your choice by using Internet Explorer, but I wont. It's pure and total crap. It not by any means fast, and it's not javascript's friend. Firefox, Safari, Chrome or nothing.
I agree it is not great, and I have all three of the oens you just listed, but I can't get use to them!Quote:

Not worked hard enough then have you? How do you open a tab in Firefox? Control & T? Try that in Safari, you can also press File or Menu > new tab. (Press alt to reveal the file, edit etc menu). Also, per normal.. right click and open in new tab. It's that simple.Quote:

Or you could click with the scroll wheel, works in all browsers except chrome I believe (sods law: I bet it won't work in safari now!)Quote:

I have better things to do than work on working tabs on other IE's. Its just because on IE8 all you need to do is click the little square.Quote:

IE7 does have a much more modern look, but for me that isn't worth downgrading :)
Click view installed updates on the uninstall programmes window then uninstall IE8, it will leave you with IE7.
I've uninstalled IE8, and it did leave me with IE7.
Thanks guys.
IE8 is annoying with hotmail >_>
instead of saving everything it saves like one :P
It's surprising how useful the click with scroll wheel is, I figured it out a few months ago and I'm using it all the time..Quote:
