Run IE6 and Other Old Apps in Windows 7 with Spoon

Quick Links

Would you like to run programs on your PC without installing them?

Lets see how this works.

First, youll need to roll out the Spoon online window plugin.

Youll see an indicator as Spoon is setup on your setup.

Seconds later, youll be informed that the Spoon Plugin is installed on your machine.

Now, visit the Spoon app library (link below) in your favorite internet tool.

Spoon works in recent versions of Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari for Windows.

Hover over the bottom of an apps icon and smack the blue arrow to launch it.

Alternately, click Start Now from the applications description page.

When youre done using a Spoon app, you might save files to your setup as normal.

Moments later, youll see an older version of IE running directly in Windows.

Here we have IE6 running on our Windows 7 PC that has IE9 beta installed.

Normally you cant run different versions of IE side-by-side, but Spoon makes it a snap to do this.

Notice their individual icons on the left of the taskbar.
