    Someone just asked me this question. I know I have install IE7 sometimes ago, so I know it's IE7.x. But perhaps it's 7.1? or 7.2? who knows? Not me! I search like a mad man in what's left of the menus and couldn't find any: "About" option!?! So... how will I know?!? :doh:

          I'm using the latest and I've got 7.0, hopefully you aren't running 7.1 or 7.2 cause they don't exist.

                ho yeah, indeed... wow, so many hidden features... thanks! however, from a purely academic point of view, I wonder if the hidden functionality thing is really what we can call a good user experience...

                      It is not. Microsoft has really lost touch. This is nothing but change for the sake of change.

                        See, thats the problem. You're not using IE7 at all. Instead, you ar usinga heavily bio-modified, by which I mean crippled, version of FF. yes, thats it :|

                              I've yet to see anyone actually try this. Let me know how well it works for you... Personally, I find it much easier to just post programming questions in the Lounge, rather than ask Google for answers. :laugh:

                                Use the 'customise toolbar' feature and permanently enable the menu bar - I never knew about the ALT key feature...
