    I have only recently signed the pledge and installed IE7.

    There are some changes I would like to make to the toolbars but can't see how to customise them.

    The top one has the Back and Forward buttons, the Address box, Refresh and Stop butons, Live Search box and the Search and Search Option buttons. That can stay as it is, although it would be interesting to know if the Live Search box and its associated buttons could be removed.

    The second one has the File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools and Help links, Roboform and Sitehound.

    The bottom one has the Favorites Center and Add to Favorites buttons, the Home page and the Print icons, all of which I would like to put on the second bar if possible.

    I'm not interested in the tabbed browsing facility and I would like to remove it from the screen, and end up with just the two toolbars.

    Is there any way I can accomplish these changes?


    I can't imagine that the OS is relevant, but it's XP Home + SP2 + critical updates.

    General tweaks for IE 7 .....

    http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/tweaks.asp

    Tabbed browsing - Tools > Internet Options - General tab > Tabs - Settings - uncheck Enable tabbed browsing.

    Righr click a blank area at the top of the page and uncheck 'Lock toolbars' - the iconbar can then be dragged to where you want, but the Favoutites centre, etc is not a toolbar and remains where it is. Remember to lock the Toolbars again.
