Enhancements for IE7

No matter what web browser you use, at one point in time or the other you will add some plug-in or add-on to enhance you web surfing experience. In Internet Explorer 7 you can manage these add-ons from the Tools menu.

When you get down to the Manage Add-ons menu, you will have two choices. The top one is enabling or disabling the add-ons. The second is finding more add-ons. There is always little enhancement that you can go out on to the internet and get.

The add-ons will from from Shockwave and Flash, which are used watch movies and play game through Internet Explorer. Then there are ones that are toolsbars for quick search, like the Yahoo, Google and Stumbleupon. Even voice over internet services like Skype have their own add-ons.

Once you have them installed on your computer's and associated with Internet Explorer, you have the option to enable or disable. Remember that every time you ad plug-in or add-on to your Internet Explorer, it will pull resources from the computer to run the Internet Explorer with that add-on.

In the screenshot of the enable/disable window, you will see the Disabled add-ons in a separate listings than those that are Enabled.
