My IE7 started today as if it were the first startup after install. I
had to start over with setting my preferences. What could have caused
this.

In another step of progress, I posted in the IE6 group.

Hey, give me a break.
The IE5 newsgroup had IE5 in the name.
The IE6 newsgroup had IE6 in the name.

So I searched for an IE7. The French were consistent and continued
their the series with IE7 in their name. I guess the Americans are
less bound by tradition.

Thanks for pointing me to internetexplorer.general.

Hi,
IE7 questions should be posted to
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general
or
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

But, since you're here...
Did you use the Reset IE Settings Button in Internet Options> Advanced?
