The Fix IE utility that was created by me along with TWC has won TOP award. As mentioned in my previous post, the Fix IE utility will re-register most of the IE DLL and OCX files and will fix any issues with your Internet Explorer. It works well for IE7, and IE8. But, not tested on the previous releases of IE.

This utility will increase the performance of IE, resolves issues such as unable to open links, Windows, tabs etc.,

Have a look at the DownloadTube site for the detailed steps, tutorials and more information on the utility. Thanks Anand & Ritesh for helping me out in packing the utility.
