| You didn't mention what you don't like about Vista Explorer. If you miss the check boxes just go to Tools > Folders options > View tab > Scroll down and check the box next to 'Use check boxes to select items' > Press Apply and OK to exit. |

| Same goes for menu bars just look under folder options to get them back, also you can also turn off things like the side and bottom panes. Obviously it wont look exactly like XP but you can get it close enough.

| I do not like the address bar at all. I would like to change that back to the way XP had it. Is there any way to do that? |

| Simply put... you can't get IE7 to look like IE6 because IE7 is not IE6  You could always install IE6 but you will lose out n all the benefit of IE7.Here is a link if you want IE6: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en But I would suggest you just get used to IE7 PS: I still don't really get what you dont' like about it? crabby |
