I decided to give it a try and so far so good. All my settings were retained and there are a few new ones like an "Enhanced Protection Mode" which isn't enabled by default. It also has a built in spell checker so I turned off Speckie to see how that works.
Here's the About box:

Also decided to give Skydrive a try but the link it gives for the picture didn't work so I had to revert to good old Photobucket.

Sky drive files (pictures) work if they are public:

Nope, made the picture public and tried the link given. It still doesn't work.
I see that your picture is using the live file store. My link only goes to skydrive.live.com. I did not install the desktop application and I do not have Live Essentials installed. I don't like the Windows Live stuff and dumped all of it a while ago.
The built in spell checker of IE 10 is excellent by the way.
I turned on the Enhanced Protection Mode and even though the MS site says you will have to grant the Flash Player permission to run since it's not compatible yet, YouTube videos played fine without having to allow anything. They must have fixed that problem in this latest preview. Or EPM is broken entirely.

In your online skydrive folder, right click on the picture you want to share select view original when the new tab opens, copy that link and use it to share the picture. :)

Okay let's try that.

Aha that works. Thanks Bob
I have discovered some other things. It seems to load up the 64 bit version of IE, even If I manually select the program in the Program Files(X86) folder and, something that wasn't entirely unexpected, the Script Shield of Avast does not work in IE 10 for Windows 7.

Nice to know that one old dog can still teach another old dog new tricks. ;D

I just downloaded and installed IE10 and everything is working fine. Seems to load faster than IE9.
-
Blah...................... Haven't used IE in over 10 years and will never. Google Chrome is where its at.

I agree it does seem faster than 9 but not drastically so.

Its a free world and this is an open forum which means people are title to there opinions. IE lacks add ons especially an ad blocker.

As the thread was about IE10 there was really no need for your off topic comment about your liking of Chrome, it clearly has nothing to do with the topic as it's not about preferences plus if you haven't use IE in ten years then your probably not in the best position to comment on it ::)
IE 9 and 10 does include add blocking by the way! via manage add-ons - tracking protection.
-
FYI...................Its called "Ad Blocking". Not Add. Thanks. IT still lacks customization which makes FF and Chrome so much better and more secure.

How ever it's spelt you know what I mean so quit being a smart arse and trying to back peddle on the fact you didn't even know IE could block ad's, time to look back at Vladimyr coment to you "Everyone has something to contribute though perhaps, on more occasions, some might consider... silence" ;D ;D
Your opinions are still off topic and unfounded, IE 10 is one of the most secure browsers at the moment and there are tests to validate this so I suggest you do some googling ( start here https://www.nsslabs.com/reports/browser-security-comparative-analysis-socially-engineered-malware ), as far as customisation's go why would I want to customise it? it works fine as it is, you have also mentioned previously that you only use two add-ons so customisation can't be all that necessary.

I think this is what Dch48 is refering to ???
-
Thank you.

No Craig, that is the normal protected mode which has been present since IE8 at least. The Enhanced Protection Mode takes it much further and the setting is in the advanced Internet Options under Security. It basically locks down access to areas that the browser shouldn't need access to, like your personal information. It's not enabled by default because not all IE addons are compatible yet.

You can also see the option for Do Not Track which is enabled by default. This is a very secure browser and needs no addons to make it so. I do have the privacychoice tracking list installed though and it blocks almost all ads. Now Avast needs to make the Script Shield work with it and it will be perfect.

Can you do a screen shot of it please as I can't find what your talking about.
The img that you have there is un-viewable.

You can't view it? let me try to fix that.
How about now? If it still doesn't work, I'll upload it to Photobucket instead of Skydrive. I had forgotten to make the file public, it should work now.

Yeah I can see it now, I hadn't noticed that feature hidden away in there, so what does it actually enhance ??? I'v just looked it up, that feature has been there since Vista with IE7 but has been firther hardened for IE10 http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/03/14/enhanced-protected-mode.aspx

Read this:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/03/14/enhanced-protected-mode.aspx
The article is a little old and it actually works better than it did in the Win 8 Beta but you can see how it works.

It does more in Win 8 than in Win 7 and it does nothing at all in 32 bit versions of Windows.

Are these the settings you're using?

Yes, they are.

Thank you. I'll change mine to the way yours are set. After I do that do I need to restart my computer?

If you had read the information posted earlier you would have seen that incompatible add-ons will be disabled, check the paragraph "Default Settings and Compatibility" http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/03/14/enhanced-protected-mode.aspx

Yes some addons are not compatible since they are 32 bit applications and the Enhanced Protection Mode forces IE 10 to run completely in 64 bit on a 64 bit system. Without EPM turned on the browser runs as a 64 bit core but all of the tabs run as 32 bit for greater compatibility. Since M86 comes into play on all web pages you will probably have to turn off the Enhanced Protection if you want to keep using that addon. In the future there will probably be an update to the browser, or M86, or both that will allow it to run in Enhanced mode.
My personal opinion would be that the greater security of the Enhanced mode, especially in Win 8, is worth keeping more than that addon is. Some may not agree however. M86 is really just another form of WebRep. I tried it and found it so slow that I was clicking links in my Google searches long before the rating icons ever showed up. I got rid of it mainly because of that.
-
One more thing. While I understand that IE 10 in Windows 8 uses it's own embedded Flash Player, the version for Win 7 is still using the regular ActiveX version that IE9 and earlier versions of the browser use. It is using the 64 bit player though by default if you have Enhanced Protection enabled.

I changed back to the default settings. Before I installed IE10 I had the 32 bit now I don't. Probably a dumb question but where did it go? :-[

Somebody told me the IE10 scrollbars on Windows 7 looks like the scrollbars on windows 8.. Can anybody here confirm that it does or not? I really want to know sorta ;D

IE 10 does not have a full 32 bit version like 9 does. If you install it in a 64 bit version of Windows, you get a 64 bit browser even if you manually select the Iexplore.exe file in the Program Files (X86) folder. However, without the Enhanced mode enabled, the tabs (pages) open in a 32 bit environment for greater compatibility with addons.

In your opinion which Version of IE has the most protection? I tried to get Abine tracking but can only get that on IE9.
-

IE10 is more secure, I've got Abine tracking list installed here so it works and installs fine in IE10.
From within manage add-ons you click on get tracking protection and add the ones you want.

It might have something to do with you being on windows 7 and running the IE10 preview ???
It works fine for me on win7 IE9 and win8 IE10.

I've never heard of Abine. I use privacychoice and it works fine. I had it in IE9 and when I installed 10, it just transferred over like everything else did and is working fine. IE 10 is more secure than 9 but on Win 7 it does not have the full set of features that it does in Win 8. It should probably be more accurately called IE 9.5 when run on Win 7.

I saw PrivacyChoice on the list where Abine is. I've thought about upgrading to Windows 8 but after reading about it I don't know whether or not I would be able to figure out how to use it.

Is the Release Preview the same thing as an "RC build"? If it is I am going to install IE10 Release Preview.
-
I think it pretty much is. I haven't found any bugs at all. It works fine. There were other previews but only for developers. This one is meant for consumers.

Yes it is. If you want to use Java, you will have to uninstall the 32 bit version that IE9 used and install the 64 bit one. I just discovered that.
-
After I installed IE 10 64 bit I no longer had IE 32 bit.
-
Exactly, and that's why the 32 bit Java won't work.

Internet Explorer 10: Top 10 Things to Look For
http://www.eweek.com/developer/slideshows/internet-explorer-10-top-10-things-to-look-for/?kc=EWKNLEDP11152012A

Update to the Java issue. You only need the 64 bit version if you have enabled the enhanced protection mode in IE10. If that is not enabled, you need the 32 bit version.
I have also discovered a problem between IE10 and CCleaner. I have always had CCleaner delete my cookies while keeping login cookies for certain sites like this one and it has always worked for IE8 and 9. There seems to be a problem with IE10 where even if you have cookies in the save list in CCleaner, when you reboot your computer, you will have to log in to all those sites again. I thought it was a glitch in the IE10 preview but after testing I have come to the conclusion that the problem is with CCleaner. I have now unchecked IE cookies from being deleted by CCleaner and am managing them totally through the Internet options of Win 7. I now have my browsing data automatically deleted when the browser is closed but told it to retain data for my favorite sites and the History. That seems to be working fine. I can then run CCleaner just before shutting down at night like I always have to clear out the History and any left over temp files while retaining my login cookies.
-
Is the IE 10 version's home page supposed to look different than IE 9?
-
I don't know what you mean. I have two home pages, Yahoo, and MyWay and they look the same.
I am still having problems retaining my login cookies though and it looks like there is no way to revert back to IE9 until 10 becomes an actual released product without the problem.
-
I thought it would look a little more fancy than IE 9. MSN is my homepage and it looks so blah.
-
I found out how to uninstall the IE10 preview and I have done so because of the cookie handling issues. I was reverted back to IE9 exactly the way it was before installing the preview, fully updated and running the 32 bit version. My verdict on IE10 for Win7 is, "Not ready for prime time".
To uninstall the preview, type Programs and Features into the search box and then click on the same words in the displayed list. Then click on view installed updates at the left, scroll down to Windows Internet Explorer 10 under the Microsoft Windows header, and uninstall it. You will revert back to what you had installed previously.
Now that I'm back on IE9, I can say that the speed increase in IE10 is minimal at best. You have to use the 32 bit version of IE9 to get it's fastest possible speeds. Now I have to reinstall speckie though to get spell checking back. I had removed it. All other addons and settings reverted back to how they were before however.
-
I had both the 64 and 32 bits in IE9. I changed my homepage to myway, customized and it looks a lot prettier now so guess I'll stay with IE10 for now. Think I'll print the instructions you posted in case I should decide to switch back to IE9.
-
When you switch back you get back both versions of IE9. The 32 bit version has always been faster because for some reason the JIT compiler for javascript is not fully enhanced in the 64 bit version. Some people are saying that fonts render more clearly in IE10 but I didn't see any difference in that regard.
-
I want to switch back to IE9 but can't find the search box.

Uninstall it and you'll be back the IE9

I followed the instructions from Microsoft, start menu, type in all programs and features, go to windows updates, scroll down to Microsoft Windows, find IE10, right click and uninstall, close all open programs, restart so now I'm waiting for configuring windows which is taking forever. I'm on my husbands computer right now.
Wish I had seen your instructions before I started this long procedure. Will go see what the status is on my computer.

I now finally have IE9 again. :)
