I installed the IE7 beta 2 a few weeks ago, for sites that don't render adequately with firefox. Today, I noticed that the trusted sites includes "about:internet". I've been unable to find anything that tells me what this is. Any thoughts?

    Well I know that in IE6 About:Blank brings you to a blank page. In IE7 what does about:internet bring you to? If its a blank page than its the new "about:blank". It could also be a Microsoft home page. The only way to know is to type about:internet in the address bar and click go.

    Mike-Your suggestion is helpful. Thanks. What happens is the page I'm brought to is entitled "Navigation Canceled - Windows Internet Explorer" and it states:
    "Navigation to the webpage was canceled
    What you can try:
    Retype the address"

    has an explanation of how this message may be the result of the brower attempting to visit a site listed in the host file. He doesn't discuss why the address would appear in the "trusted" sites tho....
