I do not know how to change this. But for what reason? Most people use Explorer anyway.

Because IE7 is about 6 or 7 years behind the current standards as to how HTML and CSS is supposed to work and IE6 is even further behind. This means that IE will display pages slightly differently from modern web browsers and so you may need to provide some IE specific adjustments to the page layout for those people using IE to get the page to look the same as what it does for those using any of the modern browsers.

Also your DOCTYPE is incomplete and so IE would be using quirks mode to display the page rather than standards mode. With a page set up to display correctly in IE quirks mode it is just about impossible to get the page to display the same in any other web browser.
