        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.

            Sorry - right button click on any empty spot next to a tab but not inside the "New tab" area.

              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...

                      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...

                                      Hi, I guess you could write some clever JavaScript, embed it an an HTML page, point IE to it and then you'd know. As a real programmer, I do like to over-complicate things where I can :wtf:. allwrong.wordpress.com[^]
