Print options also include adjustable margins, customizable page layouts, removable headers and footers, and an option to print only selected text. • Web searches using your favorite search provider can now be entered into a search box within the toolbar, eliminating the clutter of separate toolbars.

You can easily choose a provider from the dropdown list or add more providers. • Get quick and easy access to your Favorites, Tab Groups, Browsing History, and RSS Feed subscriptions. Your Favorites Center expands when needed, and can be anchored in place for even easier access. • Internet Explorer 7 automatically detects RSS feeds on sites and illuminates an icon on the toolbar.

The new URL handler helps centralize critical data parsing and increases data consistency throughout the application. • To help protect you from browsing with unsafe settings, Internet Explorer 7 warns you with an Information Bar when current security settings may put you at risk. Within the Internet Control Panel, you will see certain critical items highlighted in red when they are unsafely configured. The Information Bar will continue to remind you as long as the settings remain unsafe. You can instantly reset Internet security settings to the 'Medium-High' default level by clicking the 'Fix My Settings' option in the Information Bar.
