ftp in IE7

[themanwhowas]

hi guys.
i downloaded IE7 just to see what it was like, i dont even use IE much. im more of a firefox guy. i did however use IE to ftp files to my website. now IE7 doesnt open an explorer window with ftp, instead it gives a directory structure which i cant upload to. instead i have to click on the 'page' icon and open a new windows explorer window and close IE to allow me to get an ftp explorer window. this is too roundabout for me. can i change the way IE handles ftp to be more like IE 6 (or whatever the last IE was)?

failing this, can i uninstall IE7 and get back IE6? like i said, i only use it for ftp so screw the extra features


thanks guys

themanwhowas--Yes, there are some special settings necessary

If you end up not wanting to keep IE7, it can be uninstalled from Control Panel|Add/Remove. You will roll back to IE6.
