actually... it doesnt. which is why i still run ie8

Does if you click the 'unbreak what we broke two versions back' button.  :grin:

I wouldnt reinstall it now... took me long enough to get back to ie8. Microsoft a little like apple in that respect, always pushing you forwards trying to complicate things  :undecided:

Damn right Jay. Portable Apps are the way around that.
I've introduced about half my department to it, so there's now a load of us using it to get around the fact that the default browser at work is IE (7!)
Personally I use Firefox, both portable version at work (http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable) and the proper version at home (although I also have Chrome at home).
I did switch to Chrome for a while and although it loaded quicker, I found I didn't like the interface as much and didn't like the lack of options in the preferences/setup menu.

There are other ways around software blocks, but if I told you....

Do you have an IT guy(s) or not? If you do keep nagging, it will get done soon enough - or you'll get told to stop hassling him :grin:

IT is handled by an outside company but there is a lad who is the go-between.  He knows a bit but I'll wear him down  :grin: :grin:

Keep nagging him them, he'll give you their number and tell you to call them directly for all your problems :laugh:
