IE7 Buttons - Raj Kaimal

IE7 Buttons

I downloaded IE7 yesterday. So far, it looks and works much better than IE 6 (Good job IE team!).

 I have a small gripe about the position of the buttons though. The buttons I use the most are the Forward, Back, Refresh, Stop and Home buttons. I wish these were all grouped together like so:

IE7_buttons

I have looked around in the registry and group policy editor (gpedit.msc) but could not find a way to do this. There is a binary value - ITBar7Layout in the registry under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser] which may have something to do with this.

I am going to stick to the keyboard shortcuts until I get used to the new layout.

I feel your pain! I was hoping for a way to customize my buttons too. No luck so far :(

I'm also a bit confused over the new layout in IE7 - and most of all the lack of possibility to change it. My biggest frustration (next to the button layout) is that there is no "X" in the upper right corner to close a tab - only on the tab itself. Why not have both? All MDI's (at least the ones I use) has a "X" in the upper right corner, below the window-closing "X", to close a fullsized child window.

For as long as it took MS to release a Firefox clone, they sure did a lousy job of it.
