How do I get whatever's causing IE7 to continually place my Favorites in
alphabetical order to stop doing that? I can't find the checkbox that's
controlling this, and I'm getting tired of reordering them every two days or
so.
 
As far as I know it does this automatically, and I've been unable to
find any option to cahnge that.. there might be something buried in the
registry, but that would rather counter-intuitive. You have more control
with either Maxthon (www.maxthon.com) or Fire Fox (www.mozilla.org), and
in gereral with either of these you'd be much better off.
 
My personal opinion is that Opera seems to be a good browser. I am however
using IE7 and that's the way it will stay. Hell, I never left IE6 even
meaning that I'm either very brave and knowledgeable or very stupid and
lucky as I never caught anything. :I
 
OK, but I vaguely remember when I did that awhile back it made some sites
not work correctly.

Thanks for the suggestion.

But Maxthon is based on the Internet Explorer browser engine.

Thats about as far as the similariteis go. Yeah, it uses the core
renderer, and applies all it's trickers on top of that, so you can end
up with Ie style rendering minus a lot of the annoying ads (and its very
configurable and has it's own plugins engine completely seperate from IE
plugins... in fact IE plugins can be disabled in MAx thon altogether.)

I feel Maxthon is definately worth a good look.

I've tested Maxthon extensively.

The results can be found here.: http://tinyurl.com/2o5fl5

Naah, you just like non-w3c-standards compliant browsers from a
company that creates it's very own standards.
 
It may, but at least you can see if it is an addon doing this or if it is
actually IE causing the problem. You can also disable addons manually and
just enable the ones you always need, just to find the issue

I can tell you that I have used the latest version of Opera, Firefox,
Maxthon, and am currentally using IE7. I tried them all out because I wanted
to see which one was the fastest and by far Opera seems to be the fastest.
I am currentally using IE7 and with a little patience and working with the
options making changes it works great! One thing to keep in mind if you are
going to use other Browser's than IE is the fact that a lotta companies
don't support anything but IE. For example I tried using Opera and Firefox
and Maxthon with my service providers music subscription to go and it did
not support anything but Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 or 7. Music
subscription to go is a service to where you can download music files to
your MP3 player and listen to them all you want for 30 days but you have to
download at least one new music file a month or they will stop working "For
anyone wondering". My service provider is charter. Also I might add when I
tried these programs I was using a different computer with Windows XP Sp2,
since my music subscription doesn't seem to work at all with Vista because
it is so new.


Hope this help......

I don't deny that IE 7 is nice, I just find Firefox (and to a slightly
lesser extent, Opera, better) better. In the case of Opera. It comes
with some very useful features out of the box that IE does not have,
period.

In the case of Firefox those same features can be added easily via
extensions (a/k/a addons).

Because they have brain dead developers.

The World Wide Web was never meant to be tied to any single web
browser.

Microsoft thinks otherwise, though.
