Okay I’m sure I’m just behind the times here. I just upgrade my internet explorer from whatever it was before (I think 6.something) to the new 7. For some reason every time I log back on to my computer, all my extra help (?) tool bars, like the new SBG, google and del.icio.us are rearranged so each has its own line taking up more space. Is there a way to just “set it and forget it,†or is this yet another way Bill Gates has managed to control everything?

Switch to Firefox...LOL
You can do so by going to http://www.slybaldguys.com (http://www.slybaldguys.com) and clicking on the button at the top of the page.
-
I heard a lot about firefox and thought about doing the switch, but haven't cause I use my computer a lot for the Guard, and DOD does not support and firefox app. I just might need to start using both and switching back when needed. :(
-
I use Firefox 95% of the time and find it to be a much better browser. I would try to help you with IE, but I haven't downloaded IE7 yet.
-
taht is the other option go back to whatever it was before. Give the old windows XP undo option a try. ??? :o Now that is getting scary.
-
IE7? isn't that the new HONDABISHIMAZDAYOTA car.
-
Am I the only one who did not find that anywhere close to funny? Was that meant to be a joke, Paul?
-
a feeble attempt. sorry, i am sick and tylenol nighttime cold liquid is pretty decent stuff. no more funny till i feel better.
-
heheh! Okay you got some laughter, now. ;)
-
Set it up the way you want it, then right click on the tool bar and click on "lock toolbar" This "should" lock everything in place.
BTW, I hate the new look. I use firefox.
-
Thanks. I think either going back to the original or firefox are looking pretty good, because that was what I have been doing. I HATE BILL >:(! not our Bill

Probably because you ate too many MREs in your life... a common side effect with them! :D
-
Yeah, I'll give you that one. Only if the army had navy chow. ??? :'( Sad the best chow in the army was in Ranger units and when I went to Ranger School we never had time to taste it. Come to think of it I don't think they really fed us.
-
it was kinda funny after the storms everyone was getting mre's and thought they were cool. i worked with a guy that was in 1st cav and showed me all the fun crap you can do with the stuff in there. tear gas, etc. but he would not touch the food with a pole. said he had enough of that for a lifetime.
-
I will say this... the last MRE I ate was crossing through the Straits of Hormuz in '92 coming out of the gulf. I did eat one while I was in Hawaii last month with the USMC and the quality has drastically improved!!
-
The crackers use to melt when put in a fire. :o and those are my favs.

92 they didn't have the heater back then (not that they make a diff, unless you're in real cold) and had only the 12 menu selection where you knew exactly what you're getting.

The best back then was the Ham Slice... because you got cheese spread and crackers!
I had the enchilada in Hawaii... pretty tasty!
-
that is one of the best ones! I always say if you close your eyes (provided you have time) you can almost imagine eating at a crap hole little mexican resturant.
-
aren't the little hole in the wall ones the best?
-

They are usually a hit or miss. I've been to very good one and not so good.

We're not talking about glory holes Paul! ;D ;D ;D

what?......huh?........damn wrong thing again. :D

;D :D ;D :D ;D :D

Most of this is over my head, so I'll just say that Paul did give me a chuckle, and uh, yeah just go with the original....and stuff.
I had a slick little browser on the home comp (before it fried...hehe) called Crazy Browser. It has neat little tabs at the top for each seperate page, but only opens one window in the task bar.

Called tab browsing, firefox had it first, now IE 7 does also.

Yeah, I'm just your typical "behind the times" billhilly

I use Firefox 95% of the time ...
I use Firefox 99.998764% of the time ... approximately like. The only time I used Internet Exploder recently was to download Firefox on a computer which, absolutely unbelievably, didn't have it.

I'm with you when it comes to personal use. But, I have to use IE for work applications once and a while.

I just downloaded Firefox and I think I likes it

I just DLed and installed it too... it's different! Not sure what my take on it is yet....
What's better about it?

Tabbed browsing (which IE now has copied), several awesome extensions that you can add, it's not Microsoft, less spyware and viruses, etc.

Firefox also copied the tabbed browsing. :) I think Opera and others had it long ago.
I like Firefox because:
- easy customizable (rearrange the toolbars, different skins etc)
- add-ons such as mouse gestures (no better way to navigate), gmail manager, on-line bookmark synchroniser, web developer toolbar etc etc etc etc.
- I can get it in Irish (and many many other languages)
- spell checker for web forms
Plus it's just a nice fast safe browser to use.

Extensions, also called add ons. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions/
-
I'll just work on mastering the basics of Ff first then we'll see about add-ons
-
It's an easy browser to get used to. I started using it at version 0.5 (if I remember correctly) and took to it straight away. It's been getting better ever since.
If anyone wants a list of recommended add-ons i'm sure the Fx users here (myself included) could put together a handy little list (w/links).
-
After using Crazy Browser it's a little familiar, but the new tabs work differently
-
Yes Mozilla Firefox is vastly superior to IE. I've used both and mozilla runs smoother.

Frist off uninstall and tool bars you have, with IE7 you have a great pop up blocker and only really good design website's popup's come through. It also has a search feature that you can set up to use your favorite search engines. Currently mine is set up for google, wiki and demonoid that would be 3 tool bars in one. now you might not be able to veiw secure websites (your bank/credit card) which was common i'm not sure if it still is or not, I've never had that issues it's an easy fix. Click tools>Internet options> advanced (tab) >scroll down and turn on TLS 1.0 and TSS 2.0 &3.0 by putting a check mark in the box next to it.
The reason Bill Gate (Microsoft) seems to want to control everything is because he is trying to elmiinate spyware and virus, and you wouldn't beleive how many people call in with issues of both and it's 10,000% their fault and they don't understand why.
As for using firefox, i didn't like it before i went to work with microsoft, now i've learned that it's not all the secure, and I always had issues with it. ...

Thanks, bro! I am going to give that a shot here once I get thru my unread post.
