A Short Guide to Windows Internet Explorer 7
 In October 2006, Microsoft released a new version of Internet Explorer for Windows XP users: Windows Internet Explorer 7.
Windows Internet Explorer 7 has been released as a Windows update. If you've set up your computer to automatically install Windows updates, then you've probably already received Windows Internet Explorer 7.
The new version 7 contains extra security measures to better protect your computer against hackers, unwanted pop-up windows, and phishing websites. There are also a few changes to the way the program works. For example, some icons look a little different, and some features have moved to a new location. This booklet covers the following topics:
- the similarities between Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7
- the most important new features in Internet Explorer 7
This guide is suitable for everyone who is already familiar with version 6 and wants to upgrade to version 7. You can use this guide as a supplement to your Visual Steps books that cover Internet Explorer 6.
HELP! I don't know how to use Internet Explorer version 6 yet.
If you don't yet know how to use version 6 and you have a Visual Steps book that
covers Internet Explorer 6, then work through your book with version 6 first. You can
check which version of Internet Explorer your book uses under the heading "System
Requirements" on the back cover.
Do you have a book that uses Internet Explorer 6, but your computer already has
version 7?
The tip Reverting to Internet Explorer 6 on page 33 at the back of this booklet
describes how you can remove version 7 from your computer.
Then version 6 will be active again, and you can work through your book to become
familiar with the program.
After that, you can use the tip Downloading and Installing Windows Internet
Explorer 7 on page 34 to put version 7 back on your computer. Then you can use
this booklet to learn about the new features in version 7.
The guide contains 38 pages. You can open and print this PDF file using the free program Adobe Reader.
You can read more about Adobe Reader here.
