Re: IE7 Notification returns after hiding

If you do not want IE7, you should use the tool Microsoft designed for just
such a purpose:

I do not know the answer to all your questions.
But as for "complicated and difficult to implement", all you need to do is
install it, nothing more.
You do not need to change anything unless you want to do it manually instead
of using the tool.

There was a screwup with the update where some folks received a Spanish
version of IE7. They servers were shut down, caches cleared, etc.
That's why it was offered up again. Happened on all of my systems, too.
It should not be offered again unless ... see above
