Using IE7? Hate that Menubar that is sticking out below your location bar and you can’t seem to move it?

Well…switch to Firefox!

Ha…or simply apply this IE7 registry hack:

• If IE is opened, close it before doing anything
• Start your registry editor (Start -> Run, type regedit in the run field and press OK)
• Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ InternetExplorer \ Toolbar \ WebBrowser and be sure that the WebBrowser key is selected
• Right-click the right part of the registry editor, select New->DWORD Value, and name it “ITBar7Position”
• Double click that new value, and assign it with a decimal value of 1
• Restart IE7, and voilà! You’re done.

Thanks Kiltak!

If you haven’t tried Opera Mobile, you really ought to give it a shot. It’s touted as the best web browser for small screen mobile devices such as cellphones and PDA. It’s fast, and its Small-Screen Rendering technology works really well, which dynamically reformats web pages to fit the width of any screen size. Another great plus is the support for major Web standards such as CSS2, DOM 2 and JavaScript.

Just released is the build for Windows Mobile Pocket PC. Being beta, you can’t avoid the bugs. Even then, a quick glance on this official forum thread shows that the majority likes what they see, with most everyone claiming that it’s much better than PocketIE. It should be a good thread to keep an eye on if you do plan on using this beta build of Opera.

Down side? Sure there is. It’s not free! But at least, the beta trial runs for 45-days, which is ample time for you to try it out and decide if it’s worth your bucks.

If you own a device that doesn’t run on Windows Mobile, check here to see if it’s supported. Not every device will get the version 8 love though, such as my Sony Ericsson P910 which is stuck at 6.31.
