IE8 Customisation – Moving Stop and Refresh Icons next to Back and Forward

I just started playing with Windows 7 RC1 and thought, i know i’ll try IE8 again, see if they’ve fixed up the main usability thing that was always annoying me which was the way the Stop and Refresh icons were on the other side of the browser from the back and forward icons.

After struggling with the Tools menu i came across this blog post.

Right-click IE8 command bar then select Customise > 'Show Stop and Refresh Icons before Address Bar’

If you remove all the toolbars you get a really clean interface with all the navigation buttons next to one another.
