IE7Pro

If you are still using Internet Explorer 7 and haven’t upgraded to IE8 yet, you may want to have a look at IE7Pro.
I am running it since a while and it is so great that I haven’t upgraded to IE8 yet just because it’s not available for IE8 at this point. IE7Pro extends your Internet Explorer 7 and is not a separate browser.
The features I like best about it: Crash Recovery, Session Save/Load and Mouse Gestures. A Reopen Last Closed Tab function and a general tab history are also very useful.
It also has some other features you may find useful in your daily work – or just that once when you really need it.
Just go to www.ie7pro.com and check it out.

Just go to logicalexpressions.com and follow the instructions and you are ready to go again.

Now, how secure are the stored passwords? Have a look at labnol.org to see – and download some software from there if you need to recover some of your Internet Explorer passwords.
