Customize IE 7 Web Browser

If you have upgraded to the new Microsoft IE 7 browser you may either love or hate the way it acts.

I am on the fine line of not really caring since I use FireFox for most browsing needs, but I do need to go into IE to test certain things. When I do, I am finding it more difficult to customize than the older IE versions.

After doing some reading, I found it can be done but requires a registry edit for different items. Some people may not feel comfortable doing that so Intelliadmin.com has come out with a utility that will make the modifcations for you.

It allows you to modify the 3 major toolbars at the top of the browser, and it’s easy to use. If you are interested in trying it out then I suggest you check out the IE7 Tweak Utility

  I followed intelliadmin’s registry edit to remove the IE7 search bar and the registry entry does not exist in that place. The path is incorrect.

  Thanks.

  Steve -

  The instructions state you have to CREATE the key and then set the entry. That is probably why you are not seeing the key. Here is the instructions from the site:

  The search bar can be changed by creating this key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Infodelivery\Restrictions

  If you want to hide it, create a dword value named NoSearchBox and set it to 1

  If you want to show it, create a dword value named NoSearchBox and set it to 0
