ok so i havent messed with vista much. i insalled it on my laptop a few weeks ago and seemed to like it, but on my main pc it sucks for the drivers i need so i may go back to XP

i do have a question though for those who use it

i used the "refresh" button in IE a lot, but it doesnt seem to be an option in IE 7 which installed with vista

where can i change it? it isnt in the "change command bar" section

also

can i get rid of the **** "live search" bar at the top? i'm never gonna use that crap

IE7 with IE7pro installed > firefox

i dont know if its just me but internet explorer and firefox both work fine.

i upgraded to internet explorer 7 or which ever the new one is, and there is not refresh, home, or anything. after like 10 minutes of looking i finally figured out how to get the refresh button to sit on the main screen.

i went back to firefox....

Uh.... Home is to the right of the tabs.
Wanna really trip out? Hit the ALT button.

i dont even have it on this comp.

it might not have been home. all i know is when i installed it, i sat on the ****ing main page for like 10 mins trying to figure out wtf was going on.

i found a registry hack that is suppose to get rid of the search bar

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Infodelivery\Restrictions and add a DWORD value of “NoSearchBox” set to 1

but i get to there is no Internet Explorer option in my registry after Microsoft
