Internet Explorer 7.0 User Agent String Utility version 2
Published September 13th, 2006 in All Categories, Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer 7
A utility that opens an Internet Explorer 7.0 window that is configured to report its identity to 
websites as being Internet Explorer 6.0.
A character string called the “User Agent String” identifies the major version of the browser to web sites so that the sites can offer certain functionality on particular browser versions. In some cases, websites might misidentify a new version of IE as an outdated version, with results ranging from rendering and behavior issues to total rejection of the user. This utility changes certain registry keys on an IE 7.0 installation to allow a user to mimic an IE 6.0 installation as a simple workaround until problematic sites update their code. It also offers users the option to report these problematic sites to Microsoft. Download details: User Agent String Utility 2
