Posted by: john at September 17, 2008 1:49 PMApologies for being dumb, but when I create the IE7.reg file, where do I put it?
Posted by: Roger at September 19, 2008 1:54 AMThe issue I'm having is that I cant even find "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE". I just downloaded IE 8 and I still cannot find this file line. Should I just go back to an earlier version of IE like you suggested for another commenter?

I had a really nasty problem with IE8 RC1. the background color of the menus was BLACK, which meant most menu text was unreadable. None of the suggestions on Microsoft's support site worked,
but after running the Icon fix, All I had to do was right-click the IE icon, go to Colors and uncheck the Use Windows Colors option box.
I'm using IE8 beta and had a few problems which were corrected, but overall, it's as easy as IE7 was (or was Not.) Be glad when development is done, though.
