I do. You know why? Here's why it's actually better than FireFox:

1. Loads up much more faster
2. More compatibility with sites
3. Is much more safer than previous IE's, and some news sites even report it's more safer than Firefox, especially with Vista.
4. More built-in search options
5. better tabbing capabilities
6. Phishing filter
7. Many sites are only IE compatible
8. Looks pretty simplistic enough, and even nice in Vista
9. Tons of free add-ons you can install on it from the site

People always assume that IE is the unsafest browser. Not IE7. Take a look at Safari, that's a dud.

Tons of free add-ons are also availiable: http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/category.aspx?bcatid=834&tabid=1/default.aspx

IE7 Pro includes some extra nifty tools not in IE7 and is pretty nice: http://www.ie7pro.com/ All the power users use it

Also FireFox isn't always what we think it is:

What do you think?

I am designing the website with dreamweaver so how do I do this?

This is a complicated question, please read entirely before answering.

I am using Outlook 2003, I upgraded from 2000 for one reason - I want to leave messages on the server so I can access them via the web interface - but I also want to view them in outlook. The problem is outlook downloads them and removes them from the server.

I've asked several times on answers and people point me to this: Email Accounts / View or Change Existing Accounts / More Settings / Advanced. Then they say there is a checkbox that says 'leave messages on the server'. There is no option like that. I swear I'm not crazy, I have checked 10 times in both Outlook 2000 and 2003. The option is not there. Why is this option not listed on my outlook, when it is on everyone else's? Both copies were legit.

Because I have used both, I'm guessing its the Exchange server where this is set. Does anyone have any concrete knowledge about this? Please help.

I have a friend who's computer will shut off approx. 10 seconds after the power button is pressed. If he presses the power button again, he gets no response. If he unplugs it for 5 seconds or so before pressing the power button again, it will again attempt to start and shut off again. It does not stay on long enough for the moniter to show anything. It is an E Machines computer with XP.

I just got a computer from a friend of mine, and I have no clue what they did to it..

It's Windows 98

Anyways, on startup, when I get to the desktop, before the desktop even loads, I get a message telling me

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down

When I go into details, it says

Explorer caused an invalid page fault in module EXPLORER.EXE at 0167:00401f31 -and then a bunch of numbers letter I was to lazy to write down but if you need them let me know..

I can't do anything after this point except Ctrl Alt Del to shut down. There is no startmenu or anything..

Help please? I'd like to just f-disk but I don't have a copy of the operating system (Win98) so I'd be screwed either way (unless there is a way to still keep your operating system loaded but reload windows)

What's happening?

I paid Best Buy to fix my computer which had a host of problems. Most of the problems are fixed however it still shuts off all by itself. They said that there was only one solution to dix it and that was to wipe my system clean and reintall windows, etc. I don't have my disc for windows which they know. What can I do now? I want my money back because they didn't fix this problem. I called them and they were rude to me (I haven't asked for my money back). I've been on the phone almost everyday for the past week and a half and I've been having the problem since before I called.
