You can launch IE7 from the shortcut you've created on the desktop. Note that not all the features will work well and this standalone installation is recommended only for developers that want to test IE7, but also need Internet Explorer 6. More about this setup from. Diz Aaron -- no, it's not just IE6 without tabbed browsing.

If you followed web standards compliance issues, you would know that IE7 is quite a different beast from IE6 underneath the hood. The IE7 team is taking huge steps towards standards compliance, even working with the mozilla foundation on some points (unified RSS icons, for example).

Internet Explorer's Pop-up Blocker helps to block some unwanted pop-up windows from appearing without blocking the pop-up windows you deliberately launch. Pop-up Blocker is turned on by default.

1) Don't run IE6 and IE7 similtaneously. 2) If you ran 'iexplore.exe' rather than the 'ie7.bat' the registry change didn't get undone. Run ie7.bat again and it should fix it. 3) Ideally you should read carefully to really understand what is going on here.

Quick summary: The main issue is IE7 needs a 'Version Vector' key set to 'IE'='7.0000' to work properly. If you open your registry (via regedit) to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Internet Explorer Version Vector' you can watch the batch script making the registry change as you run it.

If it still says '7.000' even though IE7 isn't running, you'll have render issues. By default, IE6 installs set this key to 'IE'='6.0000'.

However, IE5&6 don't actually need this key to work and in fact, if you want IE's conditional comments to work while you're testing locally, this key needs to be removed completely. Consequently, even if you manually delete it, every time you run this BAT script, it will re-create this key if is doesn't exist, and rewrite is as '6.000' when it closes -- disabling conditional comments in the process. I'm trying to figure a way to get the batch script to automatically delete the key when IE7 closes, but at the moment, I'm just using 'Registry Jumper' (google it) to jump me straight to that key each time where I manually delete it. The people that are having trouble with 'can't find SHLWAPI.DLL' are probably running the script in the wrong directly. 'SHLWAPI.DLL' **should** be in the IE7 directory, and this script attempts to temporarily hide it by renaming it (to 'SHLWAPI.DLL.BAK'), while IE7 is running. It then renames it to it's original name when IE7 closes.
