problem with IE

click on one of our sponsors! OR REMOVE ADS

I use IE in full screen mode with the small taskbar at the top. It has always been setup with the buttons on the left, and the address bar on the right. Now suddenly, last night, it was flipflopped, and it is driving me crazy. I keep trying to hit the back button, but it's never where it is supposed to be. Anyone out there have an idea as to why it changed, or how to change it back. I promise reppoints for whomever helps first.

That brings up a menu of what buttons will apper and the order. You can move stuff up to appear at the left. I think that might fix what you want.

Then, you can just drag the address bar and the icons around. And like Goya said, clicking "Customize" allows you to choose which buttons show up, and it what order. Hope that helps!

I knew about the customize, which I've used before, there are just too many damn buttons by default, but didn't know about the "Lock The Toolbars" Rep points for everyone.

elfoozo Yeah, it's like that Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Unsubscribed Posts: 2,127/1.17 Threads: 70 Friends Network	Re: problem with IE Well if it's buttons you don't like, launch IE from the start, run command and put "iexplore -k". That'll launch IE in kiosk mode and you won't have any buttons at all.

The lack of toolbar is more or less the diff. Running with -k is also useful if you drop by a library or friends computer and want to do some surfing but don't want to spend a couple minutes reconfiguring toolbars on, off, removed, whatever. You just start, run, iexplore -k, <enter> and you get a "look" similar to what you are used to seeing at your own desk.
