Search with IE7
November 14th, 2007 | 
Author: ICT-Freak was blogging today about changing the default Search Engine in Internet Explorer 7. The only problem I have with his post is that it’s not suitable for people who don’t know what they’re doing. So I digged up my old (Dutch) post from my own website (Helmer.hzNET) and just added the search engines ICT-Freak mentioned on his website. Just click on a Search Engine to add it.

Microsoft to launch test build of IE refresh in December
 |
Following its August settlement of a long-standing patent dispute with Eolas, Microsoft is readying a refresh of its Internet Explorer (IE) browser that will remove an interim “Click to Activate” control setting.
Microsoft is planning to make available for download in December to interested customers an optional “preview” test version of IE browser — called the Internet Explorer Automatic Component Activation Preview. |
This version will eliminate the “Click to Activate” control that Microsoft instigated in April 2006 in order to alleviate potential infringement on Eolas’ patents.
Users will be able to get the preview via a standalone download from the Microsoft Download Center. It also will be built into the next “pre-release” versions of Windows Vista Service Pack (SP) 1 and Windows XP SP3, Microsoft officials said, via a posting on November 8 to the IE Team Blog.
Microsoft is planning to deliver to all customers who install the update the final version of the refreshed IE release in April 2008 as part of an IE Cumulative Update.
Microsoft is emphasizing that the refresh “will require no modifications to existing webpages, and no new actions for developers creating new pages.”
“We are simply reverting to the old behavior. Once Internet Explorer is updated, all pages that currently require ‘click to activate’ will no longer require the control to be activated. They’ll just work,” explained Senior Product Manager Pete LePage on the IE Team Blog.
When Microsoft initially changed IE’s ActiveX control behavior, it warned partners and customers the changes, though relatively minor, potentially could be disruptive.
The IE refresh is not the next major version of Microsoft’s browser. Microsoft is continuing work on a new build of Internet Explorer, code-named IE 8.0. Company officials have declined to provide a timetable for when test or final versions of that product will hit.

Vista + IE7 + OWA2003 + SMIME = IE Crash
De combinatie Windows Vista en IE7 werkt super alleen heb ik een probleem : Mijn browser crasht als ik via Outlook WebAccess 2003 e-mail probeer te versturen of te beantwoorden, maar er is nu een oplossing!
Zoeken met IE7
Als je de nieuwe internetbrowser IE7 gebruikt is het je vast wel opgevallen dat er rechts naast de adresbalk een zoek vak aanwezig is. Standaard wordt de term die daar ingegeven wordt opgezocht op Live.com, maar je kunt hier zelf ook je favoriete zoekmachine aan toevoegen.
Via de website van Microsoft zijn een aantal (voornamelijk) Engelstalige zoekmachines toe te voegen. Omdat ik natuurlijk uit Nederland kom en het gros van mijn bezoekers ook wil ik jullie hier graag een paar Nederlandse varianenten te download (nou ja ze zijn aanklikbaar) aanbieden.
Helaas pindakaas werken de links (nog) niet in mijn blog, maar als je deze link volgt kom je op mijn website uit waar ze wel aanklikbaar zijn.
