Bad news for power users

Those who live to tweak their browsers will be disappointed by IE7. As noted before, if you change some security settings, you will be nagged from now until the end of time to change them back, and most likely you'll cry "Uncle!" at some point and give in.

In addition, the toolbar can no longer be customized. In IE6, it was a breeze to add and remove toolbar buttons and functions, change text size and placement, and so on. No can do in IE7 -- what you see is what you get.

And those who were hoping they'd get themes or skins to change the look of IE7 will be severely disappointed as well. It simply can't be done. In fact, there's precious little you can do to tweak or customize this browser; sometimes it feels as if it's locked down as much against ordinary users as it is against malware.
