Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / July 2007Unable to open IE7
Whenever I try to open IE7, either by clicking on the icon or by clicking on a url, IE7 starts to open and then closes down displaying just a save dialog (to save an htm or html file). I had this problem before on XP SP2 and now again on Vista 32. How can I fix? Do you have the same experience when you run IE 7 without add-ons? [Right-click on the Internet Explorer desktop icon and select No Add-ons.] --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est > Whenever I try to open IE7, either by clicking on the icon or by clicking on > a url, IE7 starts to open and then closes down displaying just a save dialog [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > How can I fix?

Thanks, Wyndham. SignatureGistcheckin > I found the solution to the problem on MS. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > > > > > > > How can I fix? I tried the steps given by the article. problem is I can't view the folders : AppData . . . despite setting the files-folders option to allow viewing of all files. Because of that I can't move the Temporary Internet Explorer folder back to its original location. The same issue goes for method 2 also. Is there a way to view all folders and files in Windows Explorer? Thanks. > I found the solution to the problem on MS. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > > > > > > > How can I fix? To enable the viewing of Hidden files follow these steps: Close all programs so that you are at your desktop. Click on the Start button. This is the small round button with the Windows flag in the lower left corner. Click on the Control Panel menu option. When the control panel opens you can either be in Classic View or Control Panel Home view: If you are in the Classic View do the following: Double-click on the Folder Options icon. Click on the View tab. Go to step 5. If you are in the Control Panel Home view do the following: Click on the Appearance and Personalization link . Click on Show Hidden Files or Folders. Go to step 5. 5. Under the Hidden files and folders section select the radio button labeled Show hidden files and folders. 6. Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide extensions for known file types. 7. Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files. 8. Press the Apply button and then the OK button and shutdown My Computer. 9. Now Windows Vista is configured to show all hidden files. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html#vista Location of the History Files. http://www.milincorporated.com/a2_index.dat.html If you're in C:\Documents and Settings\OwnerorUsername\Local Settings\History Click on Folders (toolbar).

It is usually best not to try to ask questions with a "Me too!" post. ; ] Are you using Vista too? If not, you're looking in the wrong part of the article... --- @btech: Windows version?

Managed to only view the :\users\user_account_name\ subfolder level. The folders below that remain hidden although I have removed the hide protected operating system files checkmark and rebooted the system. However, I can use IE if I open it as an administrator. Thanks for any assistance you can give. > @btech: Windows version? > > I tried the steps given by the article. problem is I can't view the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > also.
