I prefer my menu bar, command bar, address bar, and then any other bars in that order & I miss having a readily visible history button. Otherwise, it’s OK, so…

Question One- how do I reorder my toolbars & restore a history button with the other commands?  
Also, in spite of the fact that my options in Tools have my e-mail program as Outlook Express, when I hit the Mail button in the Command bar, my Mozilla Thunderbird (which I never use but does have some old important past e-mails) comes up & asks if I want it to be the Default E-mail Program (I always say No).

Question Two- how do I fix that so OE comes up when I click the Mail button?

Question Three- should I expect anything else?

Download iepro [IE7Pro - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iepro)  
This should fix most of your issues and has some great benefits (ad blocking, download youtube, spellcheck anything etc.)
