I agree completely with John. I have also been using MYIE2 for some time now. It does take a bit of getting used to, but I would add that unlike IE (and a lot of MS programs) it ALWAYS opens full page. No more futzing around trying to resize the window and hoping that it sticks. That alone is worth it to me. It also has the smarts to return you to your last visited page if something or MYIE itself crashes. I have not had any conflicts with other programs or Avast antivirus using MYIE2. Brad Loomis Morro Bay, CA -----Original Message----- Allie, I use it and like it a lot. It's a big improvement over IE itself. I've had no conflicts or stability problems on my system and I run over 300 programs. MYIE2 has a lot of features and most are a big improvement over what IE offers. Especially nice is the ability to set up hot key functions; F2, F3, F4, etc. as URLs that automatically load and also the way it handles plug-ins like the Google toolbar and the setup center which controls many operational aspects - and of course the URL tabs that allow fast access to previously opened sites. I highly recommend it! J. Dent At 05:06 PM 4/23/2004, you wrote: >Does anyone have experience--good or bad--with the shell for MS >Internet Explorer called "MYIE2"? > >Is it stable?
