Hello everyone, this is my first post here.

I can't find anything in searches about this topic so it's probably something really simple but I can't figure it out. Many different webpages, probably the ones that support mobile formatting, are loading on my Vista computer in the newest version of IE as defaulted mobile formatting. Obviously this is annoying because I am not on a phone. These same websites load fine in alternative browsers.

How can I tell IE that I am not browsing from a mobile device? Thank you.

Same here! (but on Windows XP, IE 7) Nothing found by googling so far!

An example of a site that always switches to it's mobile version on me:

http://www.coldplay.com

(switches to http://www.coldplay.com/mobile)

Another site that incorrectly thinks the IE7 browser on my 1920x1200 laptop is a mobile device: http://detectmobilebrowsers.mobi
