TSGL: Is IE7 a RAM gobbler?

[Heidi Schröder]

Hi John,
I will find IE without add-ons when I follow Start - All Programs - Tools - 
System Programs or whatever the correct words may be in English - you know I 
have a German system and have collected a lot of English words from all the 
programs but not yet these. So am just guessing... since you will probably 
understand the German words as well, it is: Start - Alle Programme - 
Zubehör - Systemprogramme. So not System Tools in the first, maybe that is 
what was called Accessories before but then System Tools given as next step 
might not be System programs??? So I hope I can give you a helpful idea 
after all!
best wishes from snowy Berlin
Heidi
