Default Want websites to think you're running IE7 or IE8? Or running XP or

The following are registry entries that make websites think that you are
running higher versions of IE or something other than 9x/me.

Save the following three registry entries to their own .reg file, and
then merge one of them into your registry as needed.

The first one sets the default setting, IE6 running on win-9x/me.

The second sets IE to make it appear as IE7 running on XP.

The third is IE8 running on Vista.

Don't forget to reverse the change, afterwards, by merging the default
entry back to your registry, to remove the spoof, as some sites (like
Windows Updates, for instance) need to know your true settings to work
right. Of course, it all can be automated by means of batch files.

There is no need to reboot, all you have to do is close all IE6 windows,
merge the appropriate .reg, then reopen IE6 for it to work.
