Hi,

Does anyone have a confirmed gen on whether this is actually going to
happen?

Um, why are they sticking this in with automatic updates?

Surely it's not a critical or security patch?

It'll be more secure granted that IE6, which admittedly is almost a
decade 
old.  However, this is going to put alot of people out.  Those that use 
screen access software that doesn't support it and can not aford to
upgrade 
and those that just plain do not want to use IE.

I'm all for upgrades and am quite anal about my security but I read this
and 
immediately thought of my girlfriend who,

A.  Has JFW 6.
and
B.  Who I've switched updates on because otherwise she'd not download or

install updates that are critical patches...

Wendy and others,

My understanding is that Internet Explorer 7 is going to come out as a 
Windows update in early November. To prevent it automatically being 
installed, you need to turn off the Auomatic Update feature within
Windows. 
Here is how to do that with Windows XP.

Open the Start menu and choose Control Panel. If Control Panel isn't on
the 
Start menu, choose Settings and then Control Panel.

Move down to Automatic Updates and press Enter.

Tab to a series of radio buttons and choose anything except "Automatic 
(recommended)".

Tab to the OK button and press it.

Steve

I have just had an e-mail from my sighted volunteer who informs me that
on 1
November Microsoft will be distributing IE 7.  He is concerned that I
might
get it automatically, and understands that it is not compatible with
JAWS.
I have automatic updates on, but I am wondering whether it will be
possible
to refuse the IE update.  Please could anyone advise me, and all members
who
may be affected, what we need to do.

Many thanks

Wendy
