Running multiple versions of IE
Category web development testing
Thought this might come in handy for some of you... if you've avoided upgrading to IE7 because you're supporting IE6 users, but want to test your applications in IE7 to be sure they won't break when your users do upgrade, there's a way to run multiple versions on the same machine. Upgrade to IE7, then download the executable hosted here. This allows you to install versions 3 through 6 (or any subset thereof) without actually installing them... it uses "DLL redirection" to allow each version to behave as it would if it were the only version installed.

Other than that, great technique for allowing multiple versions of the browser on a single machine.
