About the User-Agent String

The User-Agent (or UA) string is sent along in the headers of every HTTP request so the server knows what type of browser is making the request. For a quick refresher on the User-Agent string, check out George Shephard's article in MSDN Magazine. Two MSDN articles describe User-Agent headers: Understanding User-Agent Strings, and Best Practices for detecting the Internet Explorer version.

Want Internet Explorer to simulate another version? 

Otherwise, run one of the following scripts and restart all browser instances to see the change:

• Internet Explorer 6 on WindowsXP (use this to workaround sites that block IE7 or Windows Vista)
• Internet Explorer 7 on your current OS
• Internet Explorer 7 on Vista
• Internet Explorer 8 on your current OS
• Undo User-Agent registry overrides
