Windows Explorer
Many people do still use Windows Internet Explorer. There are many websites that don't function properly unless opened using Internet Explorer.
Since Internet explorer is a program (application) it can vary. If using Windows it is .exe , if using Macintosh, it is .app
This probably because windows xp is an old windows and runs quite slowly and Windows 7 is up-to-date and can run much faster. Another reason may be, because your Internet explorer on xp is not up-to-date (Internet explorer 8 is the newest) and the windows 7 already has Internet explorer on it. You might want to update the Internet explorer on the xp.

Now type in the box"%programfiles%\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"YOU MUST INCLUDE THE QUOTATION MARKS!This method should also work for windows vista. This method is untested on windows vista as it should be in the start menu for windows vista users.

Which version of Internet Explorer are you using?
