Ok, I tried IE7 for the first time recently and found a horrible bug that I can't find a reasonable solution to.
It has something to with IE7 (and IE8) updating the URLs "date modified" time stamp if the URL has a favicon.
Example :
goto this URL :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft
Drag the URL to your desktop or any folder. Note the date modified time stamp. A minute later, double click on the URL and let it open. Now look at the time stamp again. It will be automatically updated because this website has a favicon. IE7 will automatically update the date modified time stamp whether you want it to or not.
THIS IS A PAIN IN THE BEHIND if you have lots of URLs sorted by date modified.
The ONLY solution I have found is to change the properties of EVERY URL to "read only". This will prevent the time stamp from being overridden.
There has to be a better way than having to resort to this for every bookmark or URL.
This "feature" of IE7/IE8 really sucks and there should be an option to disable it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
