Internet Explorer 7.0 is the long awaited tabbed web browser by Microsoft. Nearly four years after the release of Internet Explorer 6.0, in the face of growing competition from Mozilla’s Firefox, Microsoft has finally given the old IE platform a facelift. Optimized design along with new cool interface, favorites centre, search box, RSS feeds and most importantly easy to use tabbed browsing are the exclusive features of this new internet explorer.
Extract the downloaded Internet Explorer setup file (IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe) using WinRAR to a directory (IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu).
Download the patched iecustom.dll and then copy-paste it to the update folder (IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu\update\) and click yes when asked to overwrite.
Run ‘update.exe’ in the update folder (not iesetup.exe!!!). At the end, you have to choose ‘exit/finish without restart’ option to finish the running process of the exe file.
Download normaliz.dll and then copy-paste it to “c:\windows\system32\” directory (in order to prevent problems with the file not being found after the installation). And then reboot/restart your pc.
After rebooting your pc, you may face a problem with a file called normaliz.dll that can not be found by explorer.exe. If you’re having this problem, you will find your desktop blank.(If you are not facing this problem then just go to step 7) In order to fix this problem, you have to do the following things one by one:
Now you have to run ‘xmllitesetup.exe’ in the update folder.
Then reboot your pc again, run Internet Explorer…and you are done!!!
You must have Windows XP Service Pack-2 (SP2) in order to install Internet Explorer 7.0. But still you will face a problem while installing this new Internet Explorer if your copy of Windows XP is not a genuine (non-pirated) one, since IE 7.0 installation requires genuine windows validation!!! So what to do??? Don’t worry… There are some tricky steps through which you can install IE 7.0 even in your pirated copy of windows XP bypassing the genuine windows validation. You just have to follow the following steps one by one:
- Press ctrl-alt-del to go to the task manager.
- Go to “File -> Run” in the task manager.
- Type: ‘cmd’ and push enter. The command prompt window will appear.
- Type:
‘copy c:\normaliz.dll c:\windows\system32\normaliz.dll’
- in the command prompt window and push enter. - Reboot your pc and yahoo!!! now you can see your desktop contents!!!.
So folks, don’t forget to install Windows Internet Explorer 7.0 in your pc and enjoy the experience of tabbed browsing with lots of new features. And those who are using Firefox, can use a special IE Tab plugin to enjoy browsing in the Internet Explorer environment being in the firefox and switching around from Firefox to IE and IE to Firefox. And thus you can make your web browsing faster and more interesting…

Ah, the Rubik’s Cube: hours of dedicated puzzle-solving ending in a
surreptitious peeling off of stickers (come on, I’m not the only one
who did that!). However, if you really want to learn how to
solve the Rubik, then check out this step by step solver from Casey C.
at the Oregon Institute of Technology.
Basically, you’re solving a mathematical problem. All you need to do
is follow the (somewhat complicated) steps and you’ll solve the mystery
that is the Rubik’s Cube…something that I’ve been trying to do since
I was in eighth grade.

The Tech Tray weblog has posted a tutorial for hiding secret files
inside JPEG images using the popular Windows archiver, WinRAR, and a
little command line magic.
Basically, you create a .rar archive of your to-be-hidden file, then
run a copy command from the Windows command line (with the /b binary
switch) to embed your secret file in your image. After you complete the
process, you can open and view the JPEG like any other image – the only
thing that might tip off that the image has got a secret is a
potentially bloated file size. To grab the secret file, you just use
WinRAR to extract the file from the image.
It may sound like a lot of work, but it’s a pretty simple process
(watch the video to see how easy it is). This is a neat trick, but if
you want to get really serious about encryption, you’ll want to encrypt your data with TrueCrypt.

The new version of Google Reader looks very similar to Gmail (also the new Google Groups),
so you can’t help wondering if the two products are about to merge.
Mihai Parparita from Google Reader doesn’t offer an answer (probably
because there isn’t an answer yet), but he created a Greasemonkey script
that adds a new link in Gmail: Feeds. The unified interface is almost
flawless as a design, but Google should improve Google Reader’s loading
time as it loads slower than Gmail. Another thing I’d like to see is
adding Google Reader’s in-place message opening to Gmail, so you can
read the messages faster, as the snippet is often insufficient.
Greasemonkey stuff:
Install Greasemonkey in Firefox or Trixie in IE | Add the script
