IE7: Where's the HISTORY button?

[JEDI]

in IE6, there was a history button where i can see what websites i visted this week, last week or last month.

where is it in IE7?

 

[dennilfloss]

Control+Shift+H

or View-Explorer Bar-History

Also, if you click on the star icon to open the Favorites Center window, there's a button for history at the top of the FC.

IE 6 & IE 7 are less good than Firefox.

There are Firefox plugins that enable FF to see ActiveX stuff.

IE is useless except to install Windows updates from Microsoft.

Conclusion: Cease using IE, put in Firefox, or maybe Opera (After using both, I personally like FF better than Opera)

 

[dennilfloss]

Meh. I use Avant.😛

Opera is ok, but for me it is hard to block ads in Opera.
I hope they would add an easy to use Ad Block like Firefox
uses. Then it would be nearly perfect. So for me Firefox is
choice #1

I disagree. Get yourself even a modest-sized fleet of PCs and try to centrally manage, audit, enforce policy upon,. and update a fleet equipped with FireFox. Been there, done that :thumbsdown: I quit that job... :evil:

IE5/6/7 have offered central management, auditing, policy enforcement, configuraton, deployment and updating for the better part of a decade (Local and domain GPOs for config/enforcement, SUS/WSUS for updating and deployment, MBSA for auditing). Where's the competition after all this time? Oh wait, there is none. 😕

Since that's coming from you I'm confident it's right.

I don't experience the problems you do in a small office nor at home, so the issues you mention didn't occur to me.

I find IE very annoying to use so I dislike it, while Firefox is well matched to my personal ways.

i couldn't find it at first as well. i think the interface is stupid.

I really like my customized IE7 Interface. When I want to see "History" I just click on the URL down arrow.

IE7

Everything is very neat and convenient. All my recurring links are one clickers in the top bar. Then, the Google search bar - has its own history down arrow. The my Roboform bar and at the bottom, the IE7 URL bar.

How did you make your own ? ? ?
And please, debrand it from Comcast
or any other ISP ... I hate that on a browser.

OK Bruce, I used a registry tweak called IE7 Menu Move. I think this is it:

IE7

I have no branding I am aware of to Comcast. Only a link to an email account there. That is not my default email address. I guess you are referring to the title bar. I never bother even looking at that. But I'll try the de-link schtick. 🙂

OK - it works like a charm! Happy? 🙂

Unbranded

Be that as it may - it works perfectly for me as I showed it.
