Hello and Goodday all,Currently, the standard for all the users where I work is Internet Explorer 6, which we have plugins for some applications that we have that are only compatible with IE6. We've been tossing around the idea of moving to Internet Explorer 7 sometime, and we have a registry key that "spoofs" Internet Explorer 7 to look like Internet Explorer 6.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]"version"="MSIE 6.0"Are there any serious repercussions by using this registry workaround? Any problems that could arise?

I think that this Registry setting is similar to what this tool does: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9517db9c-3c0d-47fe-bd04-fad82a9aac9f&DisplayLang=en It merely reports to the Web servers that the client is connecting to that the browser version is v6.0 rather than v7. "Some" web sites will render the page differently depending on the browser version (though that is a big pain for the Web site manager so only bigger web sites do it.). I don't think that this actually puts IE 7 in to IE 6 compatibility mode, though. From the client perspective, the IE 7 is still IE 7. I don't think this would be a big deal to implement unless you hit a web site that had IE 7 specific features. My $0.02 worth
