OK - IE 7 downloaders

June 8, 2008

From what has been posted here, its dangerous to even attempt to ask this

question ... but with all the links posted, not one gives a direct link to

immediate support...(ducking). I'm not in for insults, please.

Just direct me...I cannot drag a URL link to my OE "Links" anymore with

IE7 -- as I did with IE 6, at least not the same way (yes! I've looked, used

HELP, used SUPPORT...

Bye.

If I follow you, dragging a link to the +* at the top which is 'add to

favorites' does not do anything. Yet right clicking the link seems to

have an add to favorites option. Also dragging the link to 'favorites'

on the text tool bar and pausing does open favorites, and I can then

move down (still holding the mouse button down) and pick where I want to

drop the link in 'favorites'. So it does drag and drop in a fashion.

Re: OK - IE 7 downloaders

Thank you ... no I have normally in IE6, merely dragged a URL (which then

formed a circle of sorts) to my LINKs on the taskbar -- they hold all of my

most used links -- not Favorites-- so when, for example, I am in a website,

and want to obtain the tinyURL, I merely went to LINKS and clicked on that

(far right IE taskbar) opening the links I've saved in it, like weather.com,

tinyURL, Google, Yahoo, et al ..and then the selection popped up -- if it

was tinyURl, it gave me the url for the site I was in ...

I hope that helps.

Re: OK - IE 7 downloaders

Al, one new finding ... I just noticed LINKS are still on my taskbar, with

my START button, with the browser open, but selecting tinyurl now does not

open up to give me the tinyurl for the site I was in...it's the main

http://www.tinryurl.com site, now.

I found a registry patch or fix for IE7 to remove the "links" folder.

Wish I could further help, but I hated that folder. Found no use for

it. Oh well. Now you've made me uncover the fact that I don't know

how I did it.... :-)

You might get better help if you posted this question to an IE group.

Re: OK - IE 7 downloaders

found this on http://www.tinyurl.com

"Once this is on your toolbar, you'll be able to make a TinyURL at the click

of a button. By clicking on the toolbar button, a TinyURL will be created

for the page you are currently at.

This is compatible with most web browsers and platforms as long as your

bookmarks or favorites allow javascript. The links toolbar may not be

visible in all setups and in most browsers, you can enable it in the

View->Toolbars menu of your web browser. You can also put it in your

bookmarks instead of the links toolbar."

I used my links access on my toolbar in OE6 daily ... I'll email tinyurl ...

;-) but, I did find out how to see the links (View/Links) in OE7 - but the

tinyurl does not open with that url of the website I am on...as it used to

do. The aforementioned url has to still be entered, which wasn't the case in

OE6.

Can't duplicate that here.

I have wall-to-wall icons/links on my IE7 Links toolbar.

I put that link in Favorites, at the top of the list so it's easy to

get at. I don't remember if I tried to put it on my Links bar. I

probably did... and if it didn't work, that's probably why I put it in

my Favorites.

Don't kill the messenger: It's not my fault MS chose not to create an

IE7-specific, English language newsgroup. If you need assistance with IE7,

please post in IE General newsgroup.
