The only reason I like Google toolbar is its "Autofill" feature but I can live without it. I've yet to install FF in Windows 7. Will try later.
I moderate at McAfee Security Forums so am in my default boot, Vista where all my tools for that are situated and as McAfee refuses to even install in Windows 7 I'll be spending the bulk of my time booted into Vista I'm afraid. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Alienware® ALX X58

Might have a look at this post. http://www.sevenforums.com/general-d....html#post2017
I've got Windows Mail up and running in Windows 7. Tried Live Mail and although there are some things I like about it, the fact that it doesn't use (or I haven't figured out how to make it use) the Windows 7 contacts folder is a deal breaker for me.
